Al-Razi - The Physician Philosopher (Philosophy)

The father of pediatrics, immunology and scientific medicine, Abu Bakr Al-Razi (known in the West as "Rhazes") exploited his understanding of ancient Greek philosophy to advance the medicinal sciences by light years, in the early to mid 900s. Al-Razi would be embrewed with controversy for his shift away from the works of Aristotle, towards the works of Plato. He would also be celebrated in his time, as a terrific doctor, earning the positions as the Head Physician of hospitals all across the Abbasid Caliphate.

Al-Razi commitment to scholarship would contribute to an early decline, but not before he would scalp his name in the history books as one of the most innovative medical thinkers in the Medieval era and one of the most multitalented scholars of the Islamic Golden Age.
