Abstract

In this article we want to study the influence of the pre-Socratic philosophy in the biological thinking of the Corpus Hippocraticum. We begin by defining what we understand by Hippocratic medicine, as well as its bifronte character (knowledge and “art”). Next, we draw a line of demarcation between scientific (or pre-scientific) knowledge and philosophical knowledge based on Gustavo Bueno’s Theory of Category Closure. From here we analyze the various presocratic schools of thought and their influences in the Corpus.
