The Genius Of Homeopathy - Lectures And Essays On Homeopathic Philosophy With Word Index

The Genius of Homoeopathy comprises of a series of lectures delivered at the New York Homoeopathic Medical College. Close was a student of P.P. Wells and Bernhardt Fincke. This book is one of the clearest statements about the philosophical basis of homoeopathic study ever compiled. This book by a stalwart is an exposition of the logical, historical, and philosophical principles upon which homoeopathy is based and it attempts to show its relation as department of general medicine to other sciences. In discussing Hahnemannian principles from, a modern standpoint Dr. Close hopes to contribute something towards renewal of interest in the science and art of therapeutic medication as exemplified in Homoeopathy, of which the medical profession is much in need. Leaving that phase of the subject to the scientific and research workers' and others to whom it may be congenial, and not forgetting the many in our own school who are interested, it seems permissible to present once more, as simply and attractively as possible, an exposition of the logical, historical and philosophical principles upon which Homoeopathy is based and attempt to show, at least suggestively, its relation as a department of general medicine to other sciences. That is the object of this book. It makes no pretensions to being "scientific." It is conceived and submitted in a fraternal and philosophic spirit. It rightly holds, however, that the evidence to be submitted should be prepared in such a manner as to comply with the requirements of scientific research. We hope this new upgraded book will make the task of students and readers much easier and interesting.
