Book Description
The idea of preparing a new critical edition of Elisha Bartlett’s Essay on the Philosophy of Medical Science was suggested to me several years ago by Dr. H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr. Since that time it has been a pleasure to get to know the life and work of Elisha Bartlett. I am pleased to be completing this book in the bicentennial year of Bartlett’s birth. Bartlett was born in 1804 in Smithfield, Rhode Island, less than twenty-five miles from Worcester, Massachusetts, my present home—a short journey even in Bartlett’s day. I have been able to walk at some of the sites to which Bartlett continually returned during his life. Visiting Bartlett’s grave in the Slatersville cemetery has been an inspiration for the preparation of this book. Proximity to several institutions with rich holdings in Bartlett’s works and in nineteenth-century American history of medicine greatly facilitated my research. First, though, I want to acknowledge the College of the Holy Cross for supporting my sabbatical leave for the academic year 2003-2004. The American Antiquarian Society, in Worcester, Massachusetts, was generous in giving me access to its remarkable resources. I was able to find many of Bartlett’s published works and other nineteenth-century medical literature there, and the entire library staff provided quick and able research assistance.

Book Description
Medicine raises numerous philosophical issues. This volume approaches the philosophy of medicine from the broad naturalist perspective. This holds that philosophy must be continuous with, constrained by, and relevant to empirical results of the natural and social sciences. The upshot is a unique volume that ties medicine to contemporary issues in philosophy of science and metaphysics.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Medical Science, Considered With Special Reference to Dr. Elisha Bartlett's "Essay on the Philosophy of Medical Science" A Boylston Prize Essay, 1849 The common idea of the philosophy of science is doubtless the true one. In accordance with this idea of it, science embraces, I. Certain Primary Truths, or fundamental principles, upon which all its reasonings are based. These belong to each of the sciences in com mon with all the others. Two of the more important, only, need be mentioned here. One is the principle or law of causation, that every beginning or change of existence has a cause. The other is the principle or law of uniformity, that matter and mind have uniform and fixed laws, that all the processes of nature take place in accordance with uniform and permanent laws.
