From the 1st to the 6th Edition of the Organon – Part 2

Summary

Between the 1st and the 6th edition of the Organon Hahnemann has introduced the concepts of the Vital Force and of chronic diseases. This has in one way, merely philosophically, substantially changed the homeopathic model, but in another more practical way, not drastically changed the way in which homeopathy has to be applied. This article explains how that is possible.

Key words
