T
o understand the history and development of medicine in traditional
Judaism and its importance for contemporary medicine, we must take
note of the source that serves as a guideline, the Torah, and study the
role of medicine described therein. An investigation of what Torah says about this
substantively belongs more properly to the discipline of Jewish theology. Much
of this passes through the filter of my philosophical research, which aims at the
renewed connection of medicine as science to the Source Code, whereby new
orientations on life developments and disturbances become possible.
Maimonides’s proposition will show, that Torah takes us to a key point where
modern science remains stuck, because Torah does not intend religious dogmatism,
but constitutes a dynamic-linguistic potency 146 of creation that substantiates
the concepts of Nature and Nurture and supplies them to the exact sciences to
move forward on the road to understand the origin of “life” as a concept that is
still beyond our systemic capabilities.
145 For facts from Torah and the oral tradition, I refer to the source I quoted: “Medicine in Judaism” by Frischman. He is
authorised by the "California Acupuncture Board" to practice acupuncture and Eastern medicine. He graduated at the
Royal University Dongguk (2004) with a Master of Science degree in Eastern medicine.
146 Jewish tradition speaks about Torah as a blueprint of creation. The term blueprint imports a far too fixed plan, whereby
evolution as creation is stripped of the dynamic process in which anything can go wrong and can be restored. The road
to unity is a road full of pitfalls, but eventually unity will be attained and creation will be completed. That is the appeal
that is made to us humans from the potentiality at the start of the process: actualise the potentiality!
