The writings of Galen discussed in this article present an outline of the project he devoted his life to. Firstly, the reconstruction of a higher model of medical knowledge, in terms of its epistemological legitimization and its cultural and social role. Galen's refoundation of the epistemological statute of medicine involved increased emphasis on axiomatization, albeit not without disregard to data obtained through experience as a final guarantee. Secondly, the construction of a lay morality, independent of the ties to power or religious constraints. Through anatomy and physiology, Galen was attempting to comprehend the providential notion that governed nature: a powerful ideology set against the uncertainty of philosophers and the propagation of irrationalist religions. From this extreme position, the galenic physician demanded that medicine be not only a general task of ideological and cultural orientation, but also a source of real, particular power over the control of moral behavior and social deviation.
本文所讨论的盖伦著作呈现了他一生所致力于的项目概要。首先，在医学知识的认识论合法化及其文化和社会角色方面，重建一个更高层次的医学知识模型。盖伦对医学认识论法则的重新奠基涉及对公理化的更多强调，尽管并非完全无视通过经验获得的数据作为最终保障。其次，构建一种独立于权力关系或宗教约束的世俗道德。通过解剖学和生理学，盖伦试图理解支配自然的天意观念：这是一种强大的意识形态，与哲学家的不确定性和非理性主义宗教的传播相对立。从这个极端立场出发，盖伦派医生要求医学不仅是意识形态和文化导向的一般任务，而且是对道德行为和社会偏差控制的真正、特殊权力来源。
