PHILOSOPHY - SAMUEL HAHNEMANN Another important aspect of his philosophy was his phenomenological approach. He believed that health is a phenomenon, disease is another phenomenon. All physiological and pathological mechanisms are secondary effects of these phenomena. In short he had given more importance to the more original, qualitative aspects of health as well as disease. Perhaps he is the first man to introduce inductive logic to the field of medicine. The different steps in the inductive methods include
- Observation and analysis of facts
- Formation of hypothesis
- Deduction of consequences
- Proof !
