Praxis (2 Volumes)

Two volume set fresh from Italy.
Volume One consists of Methodology.
Volume Two consists of Drug Family

Praxis Volumes I & II - Praxis presents the most complete methodology in homeopathic medicine since the appearance of Hahnemann's Organon of the Medical Art. Building on Hahnemannian principles, Mangialavori offers a new approach to homeopathic epistemology, literature, research, case-taking and analysis. Primary foci include the structure and strategy of both the patient and the substance from which the remedy is made; the search for coherent themes and their hierarchical organization; the association of remedies through homeopathic rather than taxonomic families; and the reliance upon strict scientific criteria, primarily case studies as opposed to provings, for validation and elaboration of a remedy's core features. The method incorporates concepts from various disciplines in the humanities and the natural and social sciences, most notably, complexity theory, autopoesis and psychoanalysis.

Praxis Volume I explains Mangialavori's methodology in detail. Volume II is a materia medica which also provides case examples of how the method is applied.

Volume II is in 3 parts, though only Part I of Volume II is included here. It covers the remedies Agaricus muscarius, Anhalonium lewinii, Bovista lycoperdon, Convolvulus duartinus, Nabalus serpentaria, and Psilocybe caerulescens.

Praxis if the first in a series of works which will outline a complete system of homeopathic medicine including an extensive, evolving classification by homeopathic family and detailed clinical information on over 600 remedies.
