It argues that Galen appealed to the entangled cosmological scheme of the dialogue, where different relations connect the body, soul, and cosmos, to expand the boundaries of medicine in his pursuit for epistemic authority - the right to define and explain natural reality. Aileen Das situates Galen's work on disciplinary boundaries in the context of medicine's ancient rivalry with philosophy, whose professionals were long seen as superior knowers of the cosmos vis-a-vis doctors. Her case studies show how Galen and four of the most important Christian, Muslim, and Jewish thinkers in the Arabic Middle Ages creatively interpreted key doctrines from the Timaeus to reimagine medicine and philosophy as well as their own intellectual identities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Plato. $t Timaeus. 600 00 $a Plato $x Influence. 600 00 $a Galen. 600 00 $a Plato $x Translations into Arabic. 600 07 $a Galen $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036414 630 07 $a Timaeus (Plato) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356746 650 7 $a Medicine $x Philosophy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015007 650 7 $a Philosophy, Medieval $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061057 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Das, Aileen R., 1986- $t Galen and the Arabic reception of Plato's Timaeus $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108583107 $w (DLC) 2020039490 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023941.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB9A8C1CCF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
