Abstract

Faced with the scientific horizon displayed by the Hippocratic and Peripatetic tradition, Gómez Pereira (1500-1558) represents the figure of the Renaissance doctor who, through an empirical method based on observation and practical exercise, is part of that plethora of authors who they disavowed the philosophical and religious justifications that served as a principle of authority in the work of their profession. In this article we try to briefly expose the anthropological development of the author, in order to focus on the materials that will have an impact on the institution of Medicine, especially those that indicate the profiles leading to modern mechanism philosophy.
