The Birth of Homeopathy out of the Spirit of
Romanticism, Kuzniar argues that Hahnemann was a product of
his time rather than an iconoclast and visionary. It is the first
book in English to examine Hahnemann’s unpublished writings,
including case journals and self-testings, and links to his
contemporaries such as Goethe and Alexander von Humboldt.
Kuzniar’s engaging writing style seamlessly weaves together
medical, philosophical, semiotic, and literary concerns and
reveals homeopathy as a phenomenon of its time.
