Organon

    Organon of the Art of Healing 
(Organon der rationellen Heilkunde) by Samuel Hahnemann, 1810, laid out the doctrine of his ideas of homeopathy.
    Hahnemann wrote this book in order to document his new system of medicine, "Homoeopathy".

The book has been revised six times by Samuel Hahnemann.

         Titled Organon der rationellen Heilkunde nach homöopathischen Gesetzen, it contained 271 aphorisms.
  • Second edition : 
            The second edition of the Organon was published in the year 1819 when Hahnemann was living in Leipzig in Germany.
         Titled Organon Der Heilkunst, it had 315 aphorisms.
  • Third edition : 
            The third edition of the Organon was published in the year 1824 when Hahnemann was resident in Köthen (Anhalt) in Germany. It contained 317 aphorisms.
  • Fourth edition : 
            The fourth edition of the Organon was published in the year 1829 when Hahnemann was living in Köthen.

            The fifth edition of the Organon was published in the year 1833 when Hahnemann was living in Köthen. 
           It contained 294 aphorisms.
  • Sixth edition :
             The sixth edition of the Organon was not a full edition in the usual sense but merely a copy of the 5th Organon which Hahnemann had annotated in February 1842 with numerous revisions before his death in 1843 in Paris.
              The Sixth Organon was not published until long after his death, in 1921. It contains 291 aphorisms and was named Organon der Medizin.
