The Medical Mandarins
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-509037-6 (ISBN)
The second part of the book looks at broader issues of medical history, and shows how a scientific study of mineral waters led to the formation of disciplines within medical science. The final part examines the place and role of the medical elite - the Medical Mandarins - within French bourgeoisie.
This book utilizes academic activities and sources to explore such major questions in the social and scientific history of medicine as the nature of therapeutic reasoning, the scientific specificity of French medicine, and the consequences for the medical profession of hierarchical centralization.
