Does the Hippocratic system of understanding the body make sense to you? Why or why not? Is the Hippocratic system coherent (ie. do all the various pieces that you have read about fit together, or are there contradictions and conflicts within the system)? Is there a difference between the ‘practical’ system of the Hippocratics and the ‘theoretical’ system of Plato? What type of people within ancient Greek society might have preferred the Hippocratic system over the ‘mystical’ system of healing offered by the cult of Asklepios? Given that all other aspects of Hippocratic medicine have long since been abandoned, why do you think many medical professionals still value the ideas contained in the Hippocratic Oath?
