I must confess to having something of a guilt complex about Dr. Galen. When composing The Middle Platonists, I recognised that he was indeed, to some extent at least, a member of the Platonic tradition, but the prospect of reading through his vast oeuvre in pursuit of evidence of this was simply too much for me, and I relegated him to a small, apologetic, section towards the end of the book (pp. 339-40), mentioning some salient Platonist features of his work, but emphasising his independence of mind. And yet the sources and substance of Galen’s theoretic philosophy is an issue that continues to intrigue me. The present work is an important contribution to that theme, comprising as it does contributions from a number of major authorities on Galen, products of a pair of conferences in Prague in 2017 and 2018, organised by Matyás Havrda, one of the editors of the present volume, on the topic of Galen’s Epistemology.
Determining what has gone wrong in a malfunctioning body and proposing an effective treatment requires expertise. Since antiquity, philosophers and doctors have wondered what sort of knowledge this expertise involves, and whether and how it can warrant its conclusions. Few people were as qualified to deal with these questions as Galen of Pergamum (129-ca. 216). A practising doctor with a keen interest in logic and natural science, he devoted much of his enormous literary output to the task of putting medicine on firm methodological grounds. At the same time he reflected on philosophical issues entailed by this project, such as the nature of experience, its relation to reason, the criteria of truth, and the methods of justification. This volume explores Galen's contributions to (mainly scientific) epistemology, as they arise in the specific inquiries and polemics of his works, as well as their legacy in the Islamic world.
