[Philosophical and social principles of medical theoretical thinking in the 2d half of the 19th century].
The rapid progress in pathology which was made in Germany from 1840-1890 was related to parallel achievements in the development of new scientific concepts of disease. These met demands for new knowledge and were consistent with the ideals of the then prevailing bourgeois society about what constituted legitimate and constructive uses of scientific understanding. The specific contributions which Cohnheim made to the dissemination of new concepts of disease and his efforts to promote experimental research in pathology are described.
