An Essay on Regimen: Together with Five Discourses, Medical, Moral, and Philosophical: Serving to Illustrate the Principles and Theory of Philosophical Medicin, and Point Out Some of Its Moral Consequences"Most of Cheyne's works were intended to fall within the scope of his interest in the relationship between the body and the mind, and this work stressed moderation in drink and diet as a reflection of what relationship. 'In the preface to this work, prepared late in Cheyne's life, the author reveals his basic interpretation of an approach to philosophy. Viewing medicine as an integral part of philosophy, he felt it quite appropriate to address his remarks to the physician as well as to the lay public. In addition to the work on regimen, he has included five discourses on medicine, morals, and philosophy.'"--Catalog description, B & L Rootenberg. |
