How does Galen's anatomical demonstrations reflect the character and culture
of the Second Sophistic? Answer - - Epideictic display - public audience, mixed
people, erudite people, they want to be impressed, they want to see, practice
beforehand, someone in the audience was probably planted
- Galen and the squealing pig - audience was elite, they throw out questions to
him while he dissects
- The audience included fellow physicians, medical students, ordinary citizens,
and the political and intellectual elite (the same people who attended the
sophists' performances also sometimes attended Galen's public dissections)
For what explicit purpose(s) did he write Anatomical Procedures? Answer - - To
show people how to accurately dissect a brain in the correct way
- So that people could observe a brain in the correct way and so people
understand how to give accurate accounts of the function of certain organs
when they dissect
- To give people a detailed account of what they should see when dissecting a
brain
What aspects of Anatomical Procedures make it a technical work? Answer - -
The language Galen uses - Very specific tools
- The names given to the structures and the functions give to them as well
- The very vivid descriptions of how to accurately dissect a brain - Step by step
procedure - its telling you exactly what you will see at different points during
the dissection
, What aspects of this work make it rhetorical? Answer - - the wide array of
information presented by Galen from the specifics of the instruments used and
the technical language used show Galen's expertise and knowledge
- Galen often used a rhetoric of observation, he claimed what could not be
seen and then told his audience not to disbelieve him until they have seen
what he is describing - it was proof the generates trusting belief - persuasion
?
What does Galen's approach to the differences in male and female anatomy in
On the Use of the Parts reveal his teleological - philosophical (the explanation
of phenomena by the purpose they serve rather than by postulated causes)
approach to medicine? Answer - - Nature is a demiurge (craftsmen limited to
what it has, not a creator) - made for a specific purpose - the cervix was made
sinewy and hard so it could alternately expand and contract and so that it
won't be damaged by such great changes
- The anatomy of males and females were made to allow for the continuance -
The female anatomy was made for the exact purpose of reproduction because
the uteri was placed below the stomach as this is the best place for sexual
intercourse and for receiving semen, growth of the fetus and its birth because
it is downward and near the legs
- A female is colder than a male and this makes her generative parts less
perfect and this is because when she was a fetus she was too cold for her parts
to emerge and project on the outside
What does Galen's discussion of the dissections of the elephant and ape reveal
about his understanding and use of anatomy? Answer - - Everything is done for
a purpose - Heart bone - not present in an elephant, Galen says there is
because it needs structure because it is a large animal
- Gallbladder - Mnesitheus dissects an elephant and says there is no
gallbladder but Galen says there is on by analogy - Sometimes he doesn't
dissect and does it through analogy
- Rhetorical value - cutting an elephant is cool, it says that he has access to
animals and it is wonder
