What’s intellectually satisfying about finding a medical system that you practice is not based on dogma or tradition but rather on careful logical thinking. The bold manner in which Dr. Asok Kumar Das presented the chapter on “Logic and Homoeopathy” in his supplementary treatise on Organon of Medicine was first rudimentarily mind bending to me that when I read the chapter, it made me feel like a numbskull, such was its alarming simplicity and fundamental consideration of our therapeutic system. What I had been doing instinctively at the bedside suddenly had meaning, in a deeper, more systematic way.
Dr. Das did not simply write another commentary about Hahnemann’s Organon. He did something much more valuable —, he exposed the logical architecture behind homoeopathy that enables us to see how this system of medicine rests on the same rational foundations as any modern science. I’m going to tell you why this is so important, not just conceptually but in the real practice of medicine, every day.
