John Russell Brown

    15. September 1923 – 26. August 2015

    John Brown war ein schottischer Arzt und Essayist, der vor allem für seine dreibändige Sammlung Horae Subsecivae bekannt ist, die Aufsätze und Abhandlungen über Kunst, Medizingeschichte und Biografien enthielt. Seine Schriften zeugen von einer tiefen Auseinandersetzung mit Kunst, Medizingeschichte und Biografien, wobei er oft die Beziehung zwischen wissenschaftlichem Fortschritt und dem Wohl des Patienten untersuchte. Brown vertrat entschieden die Ansicht, dass Prüfungen zur Beurteilung des Studentenerfolgs ungeeignet seien, und war skeptisch gegenüber der Annahme, dass wissenschaftliche Fortschritte stets im besten Interesse der Patienten lägen. Seine Essays, darunter „Rab and his Friends“ und „Pet Marjorie“, zeugen von einer einfühlsamen und nachdenklichen literarischen Stimme.
