Abstract

Starting from the study of Hippocratic Prisca Medicine and some Platonic Timaeus’s passages, the article aims to investigate how Hippocrates and Plato understand man (ho ti esti Anthropos; Prisca medicina, XX). We then divide the text into the following sections: first we describe the holistic context of which man is a fundamental component; therefore, we investigate some critiques developed by the thinker of Cos’s School about the philosophical doctrine; we examine later the notion of human being in the Timaeus and we end with the analysis of some passages from Prisca Medicina.
