Philosophy of Osteopathy by A. T. Still
"Philosophy of Osteopathy" by A. T. Still is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the principles and philosophy behind osteopathy, aiming to provide a foundation for the practice and understanding of this medical science without relying on traditional medical approaches. It seeks to establish a new way of viewing health and disease through a detailed understanding of anatomy and the body's natural functions. The opening ofthis treatise sets the stage for its exploration of osteopathy by addressing the author's journey in developing these ideas. A. T. Still declares his intention to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the body's systems, emphasizing the importance of anatomy as a core component of osteopathic practice. He critiques traditional medicine, distancing his philosophy from drug-based approaches and asserting the need for a deeper comprehension of the body's normal and abnormal states. The text stresses the necessity of an artistic view of anatomy, encouraging practitioners to visualize the human body in its entirety and understand the interconnections between its various systems. Overall, the beginning of the book serves as a foundation for the detailed principles that will be elaborated upon in later chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
