Über den Autor
Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843) was a German physician and the founder of homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine based on the principle of ‚like cures like‘. Hahnemann, dissatisfied with the medical practices of his time, which he considered to be ineffective and often harmful, began to formulate the principles that would lead to the development of homeopathy. He expressed these ideas in his seminal work, the ‚Organon of Medicine‘, first published in 1810. A scholar in his own right, Hahnemann not only researched and practiced medicine but also translated scientific and medical texts. His ‚Organon of Medicine‘ is a comprehensive work that lays out the theoretical framework of homeopathy, explaining its concepts and methodologies in a systematic fashion. Hahnemann’s contribution to the field of medicine, particularly alternative therapies, has been both influential and controversial. He created a therapeutic approach that continues to be practiced and researched globally. His medical philosophy emphasized the importance of observing the individual symptoms of a patient and administering minute doses of substances that, in larger amounts, would produce similar symptoms in a healthy person. Hahnemann’s legacy endures through the ongoing practice of homeopathy and the institutions and practitioners that subscribe to his methodologies.
