Produktinformationen
This is the 8th faithful reprint of the 6th edition of the Organon of the Healing Art from 1921.
The first two reprints were issued by Narayana Verlag in 1984 and 1987. They were popular beyond Germany as well (for example, Rajan Sankaran proudly showed such a copy to a guest in Bombay).
This new reprint of the 6th edition of the Organon was again published in a sturdy hardback at the same affordable price as 20 years ago.
Unlike other editions of the Organon, nothing in the original text has been altered. Even the clearly legible original typeface and the layout of the 344 pages have been preserved exactly.
May the book continue to help all homoeopaths to a deeper understanding of homoeopathy, bring them new friends and improve the practice of good prescribing!
Samuel Hahnemann
C. F. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843)
was born on 10 April 1755 in Meissen as the son of a porcelain painter. At the age of 20 he began his medical studies, which he completed with a doctorate in Erlangen in 1779. Deeply dissatisfied with the medicine of his time, he sought alternative methods of healing.
In 1790, by means of a self-experiment with cinchona bark, Hahnemann discovered the “law of similars” as a principle of drug action: that remedies cure those symptoms of disease which they can produce when taken by a healthy person. This was the birth of homoeopathy. Later he also discovered the potentisation of remedies, which work particularly well in this form when chosen according to homoeopathic principles. In 1810 his first "Organon" appeared, in which Hahnemann set out the principles of his new healing method.
He defended the new method vehemently. This brought him much hostility from the traditional medical profession, which eventually forced him to emigrate to Paris in 1835, where he enjoyed great success with his own practice. He died there in 1843.
