Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physicians from the Dogmatic school of medicine primarily dissected corpses, focused on causes rather than cures, applied reason rather than experimented and worked on developing surgical tools. The methodology of the Dogmatists was in opposition to the methodology of the Empiricists- their Hellenistic Period contemporaries. Dogmatists were concerned with the reasons why a person became ill and how the body worked; Empiricists were more concerned with conducting experiments to find cures and paid less attention to causality. The Dogmatic school of medicine was the oldest school of medical study in Greek culture, and Hippocrates was among its earliest practitioners.
