This work discusses the principles of applying mechanical reasoning and methods in the field of medicine, emphasizing the importance of a systematic and rational approach to understanding the human body and its functions. In this text, Boerhaave argues for the utility of mechanistic principles in the practice of medicine, advocating that a thorough understanding of human anatomy and physiological processes can be achieved through the application of mathematical and geometric reasoning. He illustrates how the body's structure can be analyzed similarly to machines, where each component has a specific function and role in maintaining health. The oration explores various aspects of human anatomy, particularly the circulatory system, to showcase the effectiveness of a mechanistic approach in diagnosing and treating diseases. Throughout, Boerhaave emphasizes the need for rigorous scientific methods and experimentation to enhance medical knowledge and practice, aiming to elevate the standards of medical education and practice in his time.
