“[Plutarch’s...]treatise Advice on Keeping Well begins with an emphatic rejection of the view that the subjects of philosophy (philosophía) and medical science (iatriké) are 'separate' (chorís), quite unrelated. He asserts that there are 'no boundary lines' which separate the two disciplines, which exclude philosophers from discussing matters of health and medical men from philosophizing.”
