In one form or another, it is suffered by one in everyone hundred people on earth, with a disproportionate prevalence at the early and late extremes of life. There is nothing sacred or sanctifying about it in spite of Hippoc rates‘ terming epilepsy "The Sacred Disease" in a famous treatise. There is nothing ennobling about it despite its occasional designa tion as a "noble disorder" by virtue of i ts having affected the likes of Alexander of Macedon, Julius Caesar and other persons of royal lineage. From time to time, epilepsy is hailed as a condition which is artistically inspirational; Fyodor Dostoyevsky‘s dependence on his own personal experience with complex partial epilepsy as a source of imagery in the transfiguration scenes of The Brothers Karamazov and as a source of experience in The Idiot is often cited in this respect. In fact, for all its victims in human history, epilepsy has been a sad burden which has disrupted and shortened life, causing suffering and castigation for the duration of their terrestrial journey. | 出版日期 | Book 1987 | 关键词 | epilepsy; health | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-1401-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4471-1403-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4471-1401-7Series ISSN 1431-147X | issn_series | 1431-147X | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1987 |
