Colloquium Hippocraticum
Mon, August 11, 2008 • UT Austin; auditorium at Dell's Children Center
The XIIIth triennial Colloquium Hippocraticum will be held at the University of Texas at Austin August 11th-13th 2008.
The objective of the conference is to bring together scholars and students of ancient medicine, science and philosophy to advance our understanding of the compass of the term “Hippocratic”. The term is used primarily to refer to the authors, texts, theories and practices of the Corpus Hippocraticum, which share a basic scientific outlook but which are notoriously polemical one with another. To date most research has focused on the disparities between treatises and polemical relationships between authors.Sponsored by: UT Classics, UT Philosophy, the Joint Program in Classics and Philosophy, Vice-Provost for Medical Affairs, Society for Ancient Medicine and the Texas Medical Association
