Hippocratic Writings

Before Hippocrates became the father of medicine, he was a revolutionary thinker challenging superstition with observation and reason. This Penguin collection gathers his most influential writings—on ethics, diagnosis, prognosis, and that famous oath that still echoes through medical schools today. It's fascinating to see how much (and how little) has changed in our understanding of the body and healing. Perfect for history buffs, medical students, philosophy lovers, or anyone curious about the ancient foundations of modern medicine.
