Politische Medizin der Frühen Neuzeit - Die Figur des Arztes in Italien und England im frühen 17. Jahrhundert

This study systematically explores the interconnections between medicine and politics in the early modern era. With the medicalization of governance, the figure of the doctor came into focus, and the doctor's diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic procedures became a model for governmental action, one that helped shape the discourse of political crises, uprisings, and epidemics.
