For a thousand years he has retained his original renown as one of the greatest thinkers and medical scholars in history. His most important medical works are the Qanun (Canon)...

My choice was Ibn Sina. A leading reason is that Ibn Sina gives an integrated view of surgery and medicine, whereas Osler largely shuns intervention. Ibn Sina, for example, tells how to judge the margin of healthy tissue to take with an amputation, a basic topic uncovered by Osler.

  • History of Biology in the Netherlands a Historical
    HISTORY OF BIOLOGY IN THE NETHERLANDS A HISTORICAL SKETCH Bert Theunissen and Robert P.W. Visser As in most coimtries, the history of biology as an academic discipline is of relatively recent origin in the Netherlands. The first full-time professionals were appointed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Their number has never been large, and one sometimes worries that the entire population may one day be wiped out by sheer 'drift'. Yet so far we've managed to stay alive - in fact, the prospects are not too bad at the moment. As elsewhere, the professional historians of biology in the Netherlands were preceded by generations of enthusiastic amateurs. We shall not even try to give all of them their due share in this overview, restricting our account to some general remarks on developments over the last century and to a few representative twen­ tieth-century figures. The historical genres to flourish the most in the pre-professional era were biographies, publications of the 'life and work' type, and commemorative volumes. A useful bibliography of the more important works published from the beginning of the century up to the early 1960s can be found in a review compiled by Frans Verdoorn in 1%3.' Among the Dutch biologists who showed more than a fleeting interest in the history of their discipline and whose works clearly transcend the status of occasional writings, two of the most outstanding are F.W.T. Hunger and A. Schierbeek. They paved the way for the professionalization of the discipline in the Netherlands, particularly in that their activities and pubHcations aroused a lasting interest in the history of biology in Dutch academic circles.

  • Views of Western Scholars on George Sarton's Introduction to the History
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 7(1); June 2014 Views of Western Scholars on George Sarton’s Introduction to the History of Science Nabihah Liyana Salan Roziah Sidik @ Mat Sidek Department of Arabic Studies and Islamic Civilization Faculty of Islamic Studies Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Selangor, Malaysia. Abstract This article discusses an outstanding founder figure of the discipline of history of science, namely George Sarton who contributed many works, including books and articles. His most notable success is the three-volume Introduction to the History of Science. This work contains biographies of great scientists throughout time including scientists of the Islamic civilization. In fact, the writing of this work bears references to sources of authority in the Islamic civilization. This work has also been given a distinctive evaluation by Western scholars. Thus, the purpose of this article is to examine Western scholars’ views on Sarton’s work, Introduction to the History of Science. The research methodology used is a qualitative approach by content analysis as reference sources are document in form. Besides that, a hermeneutic approach is also used to make interpretations of the work. The scope of this research focuses on the work Introduction to the History of Science and Western scholars’ views on it. Research results find that Introduction to the History of Science had received a positive response from Western scholars such as E.G.B. and Francis R.Johnson even though George Sarton had in fact referred to authoritative sources in Arabic language, particularly when discussing scientific figures in the Islamic civilization.

  • Avicenna's Contribution to Cardiology
    Published online: 2021-08-09 REVIEW ARTICLE Avicenna’s contribution to cardiology Mohammed A.R. Chamsi‑Pasha, Hassan Chamsi‑Pasha1 Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA, 1King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Access this article online ABSTRACT Website: www.avicennajmed.com DOI: 10.4103/2231-0770.127415 Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, was the most famous and influential of all the Islamic Quick Response Code: philosopher‑scientists. His most important medical works are the Canon of Medicine medical encyclopedia and a treatise on cardiac drugs. His Canon of Medicine remained the standard text in both the East and West until the 16th century. Avicenna’s description of cardiac diseases was logically presented perhaps for the first time in the history of medicine. Avicenna was the first to describe carotid sinus hypersensitivity, which presents with vasovagal syncope. He was a pioneer in pulsology and the first correct explanation of pulsation was given by Avicenna, after he refined Galen’s theory of the pulse. Besides, he discussed the action of available drugs on the heart in details and mentioned their indications and contraindications. In conclusion, Avicenna made important contributions to cardiology. This article describes some of his contributions in this field. Key words: Avicenna, cardiology, drugs, heart disease, Ibn Sina INTRODUCTION Although Avicenna made advances in pharmacology and in clinical practice, his greatest contribution was probably in Islamic civilization once extended from India in the east to the the philosophy of medicine. He created a system of medicine Atlantic Ocean in the west.

  • I Bernard Cohen Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on April 3, 2018, the following tribute to the life and service of the late I Bernard Cohen was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. I BERNARD COHEN BORN: March 1, 1914 DIED: June 20, 2003 Proud of being the first American to receive a doctorate expressly in the history of science, I Bernard Cohen went on to lead the professionalization of the discipline and to establish a flagship history of science department at Harvard. With a booming voice, a familiar checked sport jacket, a colorful bow tie, and a distinctive articulated fish watch fob, he exuded a memorable “presence” that inevitably attracted both admirers and detractors. Born in Far Rockaway, Long Island, Cohen entered New York University at the precocious age of fifteen, only to drop out after a semester; following a brief study of veterinary medicine at the Farmington Agricultural Institute, he attended the Valley Forge Military Academy before entering Harvard as a freshman in 1933 to concentrate in mathematics. Continuing as a graduate student in 1937 in the newly founded program in the History of Science and Learning, he became an assistant to George Sarton, the man considered the father of modern history of science and the founding editor of Isis (in 1912), which in the meantime had become the journal of the History of Science Society. Cohen’s original dissertation proposal, on Franklin’s work on electricity as an example of Newtonian experimental science, grew ever longer, and at the suggestion of Crane Brinton (and with the unenthusiastic approval of Sarton), Cohen’s first book, a fully annotated edition of Franklin’s Experiments and Observations on Electricity (1941), became his thesis for a Ph.D.

  • Atomic Franklin JAMES DELBOURGO
    Atomic Franklin JAMES DELBOURGO In 1955 , the Harvard historian of science I. Bernard Cohen visited Princeton to conduct what turned out to be Albert Einstein’s last in - terview, published in Scientific American later that year. Cohen had immersed himself in detailed studies of the scientific work of Ben - jamin Franklin and Isaac Newton (his Franklin and Newton was pub - lished the next year) and was eager to discuss “great men in the physics of the past .” Einstein praised Newton’s achievements but also lamented his vanity and aggressive competitiveness toward his con - temporaries. Yet when Cohen praised Franklin’s avoidance of contro - versy, Einstein suggested that he perhaps lacked the courage of his convictions. Had Franklin, Einstein asked, really achieved anything of importance beyond the invention of the lightning rod? Yes, Cohen replied: framing the principle of the conservation of charge. Einstein concurred. That did indeed deserve “a place of honor in the history of physics .” While Einstein identified Franklin with technological in - genuity, Cohen successfully countered that his most meaningful sci - entific legacy was in theoretical physics. This is not how Franklin himself had characterized his work, de - scribing his electrical research instead as a series only of “experi - ments and observations ,” which he would leave to others to endorse or refute as they saw fit. “Theory ,” meanwhile, was the term he used to hint at the dogmatic system building of his leading rival, the Abbé Nollet. Emphasizing Franklin’s theoretical work was both historical revisionism on Cohen’s part and a move in a much broader debate about the nature of scientific research during the early years of the Cold War.
