Abstract:
The seventeenth-century "new philosophy" has continued to be primarily interpreted in terms of a significant philosophical turn. Big ideas were given prominence of place by twentieth-century modernism, which also encouraged the propensity to explain the development of science in light of novel concepts. Such approaches placed sciences that seemed to be more theoretical above medicine (and technology). Therefore, many authors adopted a stance contending that the significant developments in the history of medicine during the so-called scientific revolution stemmed from philosophical commitments in an effort to convince science historians of the significance of medicine .The history of medicine, however, has proven to be resistant to such reductions because it is also closely related to other facets of life. As a result, it continues to present a wide range of options for those looking for novel approaches to dealing with histories that see the body and the mind working together rather than separately. This special issue of Media History, which is the product of a workshop on nineteenth-century medical and health publications, aims to analyze the readership and contemporary significance of these periodicals as well as the methodology used by historians in their research. We review recent studies on medical journals, taking into consideration the literary and historical research that has been done on these volumes, as well as how our understanding and use of them have altered in the digital age..
