How to Learn Homeopathy - Homoeopathic Philosophy

by Dana Ullman, MPH ©2006

It is also helpful to understand homeopathic philosophy, especially if you want to understand homeopathy more seriously.  The following books are invaluable for understanding the different paradigm of healing that homeopathy represents.  See also the section on "homeopathic methodology" to learn more about how to put homeopathy into practice.

THE BEST BOOKS ON HOMEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY:

• The Organon of the Healing Art, Samuel Hahnemann, MD (This was the 1^st book on homeopathy, written by its founder.  This edition is the newest and best translation of this seminal book)
• Lectures on Homoeopathic Philosophy, James Tyler Kent, MD (Written in 1900, this book sought to update Hahnemann's writings.
• The Science of Homeopathy, George Vithoulkas (Written in the 1970s, this book further updated the writings of Hahnemann and Kent.)

Books on the homeopathic methodology are similar to those on homeopathic philosophy, though the former describe in greater detail how to practice homeopathy.

For people interested in some of Dana Ullman's earliest writings, you can read his undergraduate thesis at U.C. Berkeley in 1975 on "Human Learning." Honor students at UC Berkeley who wish to have an independent major (and who do not want to have a regular generic major) are required to write a thesis.  This paper on "Human Learning" provides insights into Dana's early synthetic and integrative thinking.  The beginning of the article and its definition of "science" may be of special interest.  Also, Dana creatively chose to use his own invented pronouns to replace the masculine emphasis of "he," "him," and "his," with "che," "chis," and "cher."
