"Medical Inquiries and Observations, Vol. 2" by Benjamin Rush is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work presents a comprehensive examination of various medical topics, featuring discussions on the influences of physical causes on mental faculties, the nature of diseases such as pulmonary consumption and dropsy, and observations on historical medical cases. It showcases the author's insights into the interconnectedness of physical health and moral behavior, emphasizing the influence of environmental and dietary factors on well-being. The opening of this volume introduces an inquiry into the "influence of physical causes upon the moral faculty." Rush begins by differentiating between the moral faculty and conscience, establishing a framework for understanding morality as linked to physical conditions. He explores how physical ailments can affect moral sensibilities, delving into examples from human behavior and observations on how different factors such as climate, diet, and bodily conditions can shape moral character. This premise sets the stage for further discussions on specific diseases and their effects on both mental and physical health, indicating a holistic approach to medicine that considers both the body and the mind in treatment and diagnosis.
