[Doctor Albert Kyper, his anti-Cartesian speech on method (1643) and odontology].

Abstract

Young ambitious Lutheran, and then converted to Calvinism, Albert Kyper was opposed to Cartesianism, telling that "this was harmful towards Faculty of Medicine." He recognized decadent scolastic method and that it was just necessary to follow the ancients' ways. He wanted to ignore Fallope, Vesale, Eustache, Fernet, minor authors.
