The Dynamic Legacy: from Homeopathy to Heilkunst
Review of the earlier version of the book by Peter Morrell (1999)
I have never read a book so helpfull in understanding Hahnemann's theory. I often realize it when I read different authors in homeopathic magazines or books. - CB
From the review of Homeopathy Re-examined by Julian Winston and Chris Kurz published in Homeopathy Today, June 2000:
...this is perhaps the BEST book I've ever read that explains the Organon and where it is all coming from...
...I'm sure we've all read the WORDS, but never stopped to ask "what do they mean?" or even more, "what was this translated FROM?"
...It is fascinating how Rudi takes a paragraph and isolates the single phrse
on which the whole meaning turns — and then finds that same phrase in other
paragraps and studies the meaning in the first, based upon Hahnemann's use
in the others. We are, I fear, looking at the Emperor with no clothes...
...No one I know has ever dissected the introduction and
examined all that stuff that Hahneman was giving as a prequel as to how he
came to write the book. Some folks thought so little of the need for the
intro that it was completely left out of the Kunzli/Naude/Penedlton edition...
...I think it is one of the most fascinating books I've read, and if the last 2/3 is as interesting as the 1st third, then it is one of the most important books ever written about the subject. The only question is — "why has it not been done sooner?" The raw data is there — but no one ever assembled it.
