5. The Use of Dreams to Diagnose Patients
This episode is about the way that ancient Greek intellectuals believed that dreams were sometimes reliable sources of information about what was going on in the body. I focus on On Regimen IV in particular, an anonymous medical text from the 5th century BC.
Host: Doug Campbell, Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Alma College.
