The aim of this work is to analyze Akkadian medical diagnosis by examining the reasoning involved in the process. The analysis highlights the importance of uncertainty in the timeline of inference. While prognosis pertains to the future, diagnosis concerns something different; it relates to what has already occurred. It is proposed that the analysis would be incomplete without considering the roles of both the past and present within the inferential framework. Ancient medical diagnosis must be understood by accounting for the entire reasoning structure, which is not captured in a single text, for which reason it is necessary to analyze both the diagnostic and therapeutic kind. This work draws on translations of these texts by Assyriologists. Ancient medical science needs to be studied from multiple perspectives, and the logic and philosophy of science can help to gain a better understanding of its practice and methodology.
这项工作的目的是通过审视诊断过程中涉及的推理来分析阿卡德人的医学诊断。该分析突出了推理时间线中不确定性的重要性。虽然预后涉及未来，但诊断涉及的是不同的事情；它与已经发生的事情有关。有人提出，如果不考虑过去和现在在推理框架中的作用，分析将是不完整的。古代医学诊断必须通过考虑整个推理结构来理解，而这并非在单一文本中就能体现，因此有必要对诊断类和治疗类文本都进行分析。这项工作借鉴了亚述学家对这些文本的翻译。古代医学科学需要从多个角度进行研究，科学的逻辑和哲学有助于更好地理解其实践和方法。
