Organon 200th anniversary

Similia Vol 22 No 1 – June 2010

Author: Peter Morrell

Abstract

Commemorating two hundred years since the publication of the 1st Organon edition, this essay analyses the contents and evolution of what is widely regarded as Hahnemann’s masterwork. This essay attempts to place the Organon in a longer and wider historical and epistemological context,  drawing heavily, as it goes, on the work of Dudgeon, Gumpert and Haehl, amongst others, to explore deeper aspects of the topic. The numerous twists and turns in Hahnemann’s medical thinking are dissected for the reader as the evolution of homeopathy is unfolded. The 5th Organon is examined in special depth as a path-breaking metaphysical revision of its four predecessors. The essay closes with a brief consideration of the final and  unpublished 6th edition and Hahnemann’s introduction of the now popular LM potencies.

Keywords: Organon, vital force, materia medica, single drug, metaphysics, similars, provings, miasm theory, olfaction, liquid doses, hypothesis, cholera, Hahnemann, Duke Fredrick Ferdinand, LM potency.
