Autorenporträt
John Abercrombie (1780-1844) was a Scottish physician and philosopher who made significant contributions to the fields of medicine, mental health, and moral philosophy. Born in Aberdeen, Abercrombie studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he received his degree in 1803. He subsequently worked as a physician and surgeon in both Edinburgh and London and was known for his expertise in the treatment of mental illness. Abercrombie was also a prolific writer and authored numerous books and articles on a wide range of topics. He was particularly interested in the connection between physical and mental health and wrote extensively on the subject of neurology and psychiatry. In addition to his medical work, Abercrombie was also a noted philosopher and moralist. His book "The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings," published in 1833, explores the nature of morality and the role that emotions and feelings play in shaping our actions. Abercrombie was widely respected during his lifetime for his contributions to both medicine and philosophy. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and served as president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh from 1832 until his death in 1844. His legacy continues to be felt in the fields of medicine and philosophy, and his writings remain influential to this day.
