dbo:abstract
  • Romantische Medizin (auch Medizin der Romantik) bezeichnet eine vor allem in Deutschland um 1800 populäre Richtung der Medizin. Sie nimmt Bezug auf die romantische Naturphilosophie von Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, die eine Einheit von Natur und Geist sah. Bedeutende Anhänger waren zumindest zeitweise Andreas Röschlaub, Johann Christian Reil, Dietrich Georg von Kieser, Philipp Franz von Walther, Johann Lukas Schönlein, Carl Gustav Carus sowie der junge Johannes Peter Müller, der ab 1833 als Professor für Physiologie in Berlin die Wende zu einer mehr naturwissenschaftlich orientierten Medizin vollzog. In der Psychiatrie verbanden sich damit sanftere Methoden und neue Lebens- statt nur Anstaltsformen (vgl. Heinrich Philipp August Damerow und Heinrich Laehr). Dabei kommt es zu einer stärkeren universitären Ausrichtung oder Begleitung der ärztlichen Praxis Universitätspsychiatrie. Die romantische Medizin wird im historischen Rückblick häufig als eine spekulative (etwa die Theorien des animalischen Magnetismus aufnehmende) Sackgasse des wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts in der Medizin gesehen, andererseits aber auch als Wegbereiterin neuer und freierer Formen der Gesundheitsfürsorge und Erziehung.

  • Romantic medicine is part of the broader movement known as Romanticism, most predominant in the period 1800–1840, and involved both the cultural (humanities) and natural sciences, not to mention efforts to better understand man within a spiritual context ('spiritual science'). Romanticism in medicine was an integral part of Romanticism in science. Romantic writers were far better read in medicine than we tend to remember: Byron consulted popular health manuals by Adair and Solomon; Coleridge read deeply in his physician, James Gillman's, library; Percy Shelley ordered Spallanzani's complete works and immersed himself in the vitalist controversy, while Mary Shelley read Gall and Spurzheim; Blake engraved plates for medical literature published by Joseph Johnson; and Keats, of course, was trained as a physician. The impetus for Romantic ideas in medicine came from the Great Britain, and more specifically Scotland - John Hunter (1728–93) - and the idea of life as a principle not reducible to material constructs, and John Brown (1735–88), founder of the Brunonian system of medicine (see also, Romanticism in Scotland#Science). The nexus for Romantic Medicine was Germany, largely nurtured and guided by German natural scientific inquiries regarding the vital aspects of nature, such as that of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752–1840) and his influential ideas regarding a life principle (Bildungstrieb), a formative drive (nisus formatives) as well as a philosophical tradition that emphasized the dynamic aspects of man and nature, and their essential relationship as part of a unity - German idealism and Naturphilosophie - all guided by Immanuel Kant's (1724–1804) challenge calling for critical inquiry as the basis for science. The essence of romantic medicine was to overcome the deep crisis that Western medicine found itself in during the latter half of the 1700s by means of a science of life (pathology and physiology grounded in history) that went beyond the simple application of the method of the inertial sciences (physics and chemistry, grounded in mathematics) that had worked so well for inert nature, but was found wanting when applied to vital nature, but also a science of life that went beyond the idea of medicine as a subjective art largely to be left to individual practice. The Zeitgeist of Romantic medicine sought to unite the uneasy partnership of material natural science and subjective clinical practice to create a true scientific foundation for Western medicine (see also Romanticism and epistemology) (en)
