title: [Plato and medicine].
abstract: Medicine and philosophy are branches of knowledge that had decisive influence on each other in the time of Ancient Greece, shaping the development of both. A landmark of this interrelationship was the thought of the philosopher Plato (427-347 A. C.), considered the greatest thinker in Western tradition. The text discusses how Platonic reflection reached into the most varied aspects of medicine in the philosopher's days.
