Laodikya sağlık sembolü ve antik tıpta analojiler

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, İmparator Sezar Augustus (M.Ö. 27–M.S. 14) döneminde oluşturulan Laodikya sağlık sunağı tarafından temsil edilen tıp fakültesinin kompozisyonel, yapısal, figüratif anlamlarının temel izlenimlerini incelemektir. Gereç ve yöntem: Laodikya’da Sağlık Altar’ının girift rölyefinde kullanılan altın oran ve orantılı geometri ve yapısal özellikleri, Yunan, Mısır ve Türk bilim ve felsefesinin kaynaştığı bu dönemde tıbbın gelişiminde matematik, doğa ve fizik arasındaki analojik bağlantıları bulmak için analiz edildi. Bulgular: Bu incelemede Mısır geometrisinin uygulamaları ve Altın Oran'ın Laodikya Sağlık sunağı üzerindeki bütünsel kullanımının ölçüm sistemleri olarak kabul edildiği açıktır. Aynı zamanda, Laodikya’nın Tıp Fakültesi, insan vücudunun bilimsel analojisini, doğanın oranlarını ve altın oranı sadece mimari ve doğa için değil, aynı zamanda evren, insan vücudu ve tıp için de kullanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu sunağın keşfi, Laodikya ve Türkiye'nin, matematiği, fiziği ve Altın Oranı tıpta birleştirerek tıp alanında temel bilimlerin geliştirilmesinde mitostan logosa hareketin ön saflarında yer aldığını kanıtlıyor.

Laodicea health altar and analogies in ancient medicine

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the bas relief impressions of compositional, structural, figurative meanings of the medical school represented by the Laodicea health altar created in the time of Emperor Caesar Augustus (27 BC–14 AD). Materials and methods: The golden ratio, the proportional geometry and the structure used in the Laodicea Health Altar’s intricate relief were analyzed to find out the analogical relation between mathematics, nature and physics in the development of medicine in this time of melding Greek, Egyptian and Turkish science and philosophy. Results: It’s clear that applications of Egyptian geometry and the integral use of the Golden Ratio on the Laodicea Health altar is considered as the measurement systems. At the same time, Laodicea’s medical school used the scientific analogy of the human body, proportions of nature and the golden ratio not only applies to architecture and nature but also to the universe, the human body and medicine. Conclusion: The discovery of this altar proves that Laodecia and Turkey were at the forefront of the movement from mythos to logos in developing hard science in the medical field as it combined mathematics, physics and the Golden Ratio into medicine.
