TERMINOLOGUL DIMITRIE CANTEMIR DESPRE MEDICINĂ ȘI DESPRE OM (TRIDIMENSIONALITATEA CORP, SUFLET, SPIRIT)

Abstract

The great scholar Dimitrie Cantemir, considered the founder of Romanian medical terminology, treats man from the perspective of the three-dimensionality of body, soul, spirit. In the novel Hieroglyphic History, divided into twelve parts …, we attest reminiscences of Geto-Dacian medicine. Plato mentioned that this is one of the most evolved and contains the sacred teaching of human healing. Dimitrie Cantemir explains the state of health and the pathological state within the body → soul relationship, defining the terms megalopsychia and micropsychia, which designate the presence of the “big soul” and the “small soul”, an explanation made by the author. A true psychologist, the scientist mentions the importance of emotional balance, the lack of inner conflict in maintaining health, because “life sitting and serving good account, to cure all and cure”, is “in the form of soul power”, “health and all useful soul and body”.
