As the title mention, philosophical view on the homeopathy, it gives a perspective on it overall, give a glimpse about how homeopathy defines how the medication and curing of diseases should be and how a physician treat, behave and act, when treating - behave, in a sense, how to approach it ? From the book, i come to believe, manner in which documentation done in homeopathy, if regulated it and made the practice of treating elegant, it can surpass modern medicine easily using modern tools.

1 or 2 nuggets but ultimately I think Kent is the reason homeopathy has a bad name.

Wonderful and interesting explanation of the philosophy by Dr. James Tyler Kent. A must read for people trying to understand the homeopathic philosophy and how it differs from the allopathic philosophy.
