Description
This is a book of papers on medicine and science in multicultural societies. The papers explore how medicine and science are shaped by the political, religious, economic, and scientific forces in these societies.
The papers collected in this volume all focus on medicine and science (natural philosophy) in the multicultural societies of the Spanish kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, between the 13th and the 17th centuries. Luis Garcia-Ballester seeks to show that medicine cannot be divorced from the political, religious, economic and scientific forces which inform every society at any time.
