Diskussion:Keimtheorie

Ein Fragment ohne Quellen, muss historisch richtig eingeordnet werden. --Andante ¿! ^WP:RM 00:50, 28. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Ohne Quellen ist eine Sache, ist nun belegt. Aber historisch richtig einordnen, ist anspruchsvoll und muss zunächst nicht erfüllt sein. Artikel wachsen mit der Zeit. --WissensDürster 19:43, 15. Apr. 2010 (CEST)

Felix Platter -- der Begründer der Keimtheorie

"Nardi, as it happens, does not mention Fracastoro. His authority (apart from Lucretius himself) is Felix Platter. Platter, in his De Febribus (1597) ... had explicitly rejected arguments for the spontaneous generation of plague and syphilis, since these could not account for the fact that these were new diseases -- if they could be spontaneously generated they would have arisen over and over again. ... He thus carefully propounds the theory that these diseases are spread by seeds or germs [in Latin: "semen" -- wrongly understood not as "germs", but as "seminal fluid" after Platter and until Bassi] ... Platter is thus a proper germ theorist, the earliest known to me" (David Wootton, 2006: Bad Medicine - Doctors doing harm since Hippocrates, p. 127).

Joseph Lister revisited - the birthdate of modern medicine (doing less harm than before) in 1865

zu Joseph Lister (der den Pasteur erst NACH seiner Phenol-Antisepsis entdeckte) David Wootton: "Lister disappears into germ theory's prehistory, and is merely 'the English disciple' of Pasteur, a role in which, it must be said, he cast himself. As a result, the nature of the first crucial meeting between science and medicine is scarcely explored and its character is systematically misunderstood. ... Lister's work is hopelessly underestimated if one takes at face value his own unduly modest suggestion that it followed straightforwardly from reading Pasteur. To make the leap that Lister made [and it may have been the biggest leap in medicine so far] you needed to be a microscopist (to have seen all the invisible creatures in the air), a bacteriologist (to understand that every operation was a bacteriological experiment), and a surgeon, accustomed to struggling with sepsis."
