Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In many Hippocratic writings, the writers' attention is often focused on registering and discussing medical errors. Far from being sporadic and fortuitous, these discussions represent a privileged rhetorical resource in order to produce different effects. The aims of my paper will be: 1) to determine some of the most important contexts in which errors become the object of medical discourse; 2) to distinguish, per exempla, the typologies of errors made object of discourse; 3) to give an epistemological outline which may clarify which functions these discourses have and whether these functions respond coherently to a conscious plan of medical knowledge. |
