Abstract

Predmet rada medicinski je traktat Umijeće medicinskih mjerenja (1614.) mletačkog liječnika Santorija Santorija. Djelo je značajno jer bilježi začetke kvantitativne medicine i među prvima razmatra ideju metabolizma kakvu danas poznajemo. Iako su mu brojni radovi pristupili iz perspektive intelektualne historije, ovaj rad Santorijevo djelo razmatra kroz prizmu historijske antropologije, konkretnije pomoću modela kulturne fenomenologije američkog antropologa Thomasa Csordasa. Cilj je rada razložiti santorijevsku antropologiju tijela, odnosno analizirati na koji način Santorio iskustvo vlastita tijela izdiže na razinu univerzalne i apstraktne biološke datosti. Rad se osvrće i na širi intelektualno-znanstveni kontekst (hipokratsko-galenovsku paradigmu) te razmatra ulogu mjernih instrumenata.

Abstract (english)

The thesis addresses the medical treatise Ars de statica medicina (1614), penned by the Venetian physician Santorio Santorio. The treatise is important for two reasons: it was among the first works to promote the quantitative approach in medicine, but also one of the first to study metabolism. Although a number of historians have approached Ars de statica medicina from the perspective of intellectual history, this thesis considers the treatise through the lens of historical anthropology. The analytical framework employed is that of cultural phenomenology as developed by the American anthropologist Thomas Csordas. The aim is to give an outline of the Sanctorian anthropology of the body, i.e. to analyze how Santorio abstracts the lived experience of his body to the level of a universal biological given. The thesis also situates Ars de statica medicina within the wider intellectual context and considers the role accorded to measuring devices.
