Recent work on Theophrastus' biological opuscula opens new perspectives on the still obscure relations between this author and the Hippocratic writings. The three short treatises On Fatigue, On Sweat, On Dizziness, present unquestionable resemblances with many Hippocratic notions, but still more differences from them. This suggests a possible critical dialogue, using allusions to, and substitutions from, certain Hippocratic writings such as Regimen. Reading such writings in the light of the Theophrastean material reveals in them such important themes as differences and causes, which coincide with Theophrastus' own epistemological interests and which may have played some role in his research.
最近对泰奥弗拉斯托斯的生物学短篇著作的研究,为这位作者与希波克拉底著作之间仍不明朗的关系开辟了新的视角。三篇短论《论疲劳》《论出汗》《论眩晕》与许多希波克拉底的观念有着毋庸置疑的相似之处,但与它们的差异也更为显著。这表明可能存在一种批判性的对话,其中涉及对某些希波克拉底著作(如《养生论》)的引用和替换。根据泰奥弗拉斯托斯的材料来解读这些著作,会揭示出其中诸如差异和原因等重要主题,这些主题与泰奥弗拉斯托斯自己的认识论兴趣相契合,并且可能在他的研究中发挥了一定作用。
