1 Jan 1514 Jahr - Andreas Vesalius

Beschreibung:

1514-1564
- Published "On the workings of the human body" in 1543
- Lot of parallels with Copernicus (published his significant work the same year as Copernicus)
- Copernicus redesigns the universe. Vesalius redesigns the human body.

- Skinned drawings: muscles, bones, organs, detailed visuals (anatomical)
- Dissections (public practice). Anatomical Theaters!
- More and more realistic representations/drawings

- Vesalius teaches at the universities of Padua and Bologna, then becomes physician of the emperor.
- He argues strongly for the NEED TO JOIN CLINICAL MEDICINE WITH THE PRACTICE OF DISSECTION/SURGERY (theory and direct observation).
- Against a medical culture based on books: a new image of the physician.

- At the time, University professors would NEVER actually do the dissections. Instead, most dissections were done by manual laborers.
- Vesalius, however, encourages the merging of dissection and formal medicine education.
- According to Vesalius, the medical art has declined due to the limited consideration for the manual and visual.
