Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irish Ethno-Botany and the Evolution of Medicine in Ireland This book aims to give in outline the evolution of Medicine in Ireland and to indicate the comprehensive character of Irish Ethno-Botany. Our country´s share in the development of medical science is unknown, and, therefore, unrecognised. The names of Graves, Stokes, and Corrigan are undoubtedly impressed on the annals of Medicine. Yet these men do not represent the Irish so much as the Anglo-Celtic school. The medical profession in this country suffers like the rest of the race from England´s pedagogy. Somebody has criticised the educational system because it ignores the life history of the subject with which it deals. Not only does it ignore the life history, but it hides the race history. The exotic educational tree which the Irish child must climb bears but one fruit worth having. That fruit grows on a graft so carefully placed that it hides the poisonous nature of the tree itself. Education without Nationality is, however, no less absurd than Education without Religion. In this book I have endeavoured to indicate the wealth now lying hidden in the Gaelic nature creeds, and look forward with hope to the day when "Nature, the sombre and veiled companion of the children of unfaith," will become "the revealed and laughing nurse of the children of belief."
