Medicine

Ibn Sina defines medicine as the science that studies the human body insofar as it is healthy or departs from health, in order to keep health and restore it when lost. Its subjects include the elements, temperaments, humours, organs, spirits, powers and actions, and it knows the causes of health and disease in four kinds: material, efficient, formal and final.
