Various Editions of Organon of MedicineFirst Edition Published in 1810 Below the title of the book there was a small couplet from Gallert's poem - The Truth We Mortals Need Just above the first aphorism was written 'Organon of The Healing Art'. The first edition had no table of contents. Second Edition Published in 1819 In the second edition the title of the book was changed. The Gallert's poem was also replaced by the phrase 'Aude Sapere', which means 'dare to be wise'. Third Edition Published in 1824 No significant change. Fourth Edition Published in 1829 The theory of chronic diseases was included in the organon for the first time. In the 9th aphorism of this edition, Hahnmeann stated that the fundamental cause of all chronic diseases are 'Chronic Miasms' and in aphorism 72 he stated that chronic diseases are caused by 'dynamic infection of chronic miasm'. Introduction to Organon proper was introduced in this edition. Fifth Edition Published in 1833 This edition introduced two new approaches - Doctrine of Vital Force, and Doctrine of Drug Dynamization. Sixth Edition Published in 1921 This edition was published after the death of Dr. Hahnemann. In this edition many significant changes took place. The term Vital Force was replaced by Vital Principle and a new scale for potentization, 50 Millesimal scale was introduced in the sixth edition. Apart from these many other changes in the preparation, administration and repetition of drugs took place. Some of these changes were so stark that large number of homeopaths have not been able to accept this edition till date. |
