The aim of the course is to acquaint the student with the most important ideas of health and illness present in Western culture from classical times to the 20th century.

| Kursinnehåll |
| This course will deal with texts, which illustrate ideas and conceptions related to health and illness. The ideas start in the Classical Period with Galen and his adherents, continue to the Medieval Era, with particular attention to the impact of Plague on the development of new ideas of disease. They advance through the Early Modern Period, through Enlightenment to the increasing interest for statistics during the 19th century and the new perceptions of disease, stimulated by the bacteriological discoveries. |
