"An Anatomical Disquisition on the Motion of the Heart & Blood in Animals" by William Harvey is a scientific publication written in the early 17th century. The work is a foundational text in physiology, presenting groundbreaking theories on circulation and heart functions. Harvey explores the mechanics of blood circulation, challenging long-held beliefs and arguments posited by ancient authorities. The opening of this treatise begins with an editor's introduction that provides context about the scientific revolutions of the 16th century, noting how previous reliance on the works of ancient scholars hindered progress in medical science. Harvey acknowledges the errors in conventional understanding regarding the heart, blood vessels, and the flow of blood. He sets the stage for his extensive observations and experiments, emphasizing the crucial role of directly observing bodily functions rather than exclusively relying on ancient texts. This portion highlights his commitment to empirical evidence and positions him as a pioneer of modern physiology, making a strong case for the necessity of questioning traditional doctrines in pursuit of scientific truth.
