references: DSB [III, p. 2: "Cabanis's 'Du degré de certitude de la médecine' (1798) contains a defense of medical empiricism enriched by a history of medical practice through the centuries; in this account the Hippocratic concept of nature is once more paramount, and the clearest conclusion consists in the rejection of theoretical systems. This rejection is based on the philosophical conviction that the human mind, incapable of discovering causes, should content itself with organizing, whitout preconceived ideas, relations of facts."].
