Hewas a prolific writer on anatomy, physiology, diagnosis andprognosis, pulse-doctrine, pharmacology, therapeutics andthe theory of medicine; but he also wrote extensively onphilosophical topics, making original contributions to logicand the philosophy of science, and outlining a scientificepistemology which married a deep respect for empiricaladequacy with mitment to rigorous rational exposi-tion and demonstration. He was also a vigorous polemicist,deeply involved in the doctrinal disputes among the medicalschools of his day.
