| pneumatism |
a theory, first associated with Empedocles of Acragas, that combines the folk belief of blood's being the seat of innate heat, and the then current philosophical speculation on pneuma, to establish the heart both as center of the vascular system and as the main organ distributing pneuma, life, and heat by the veins, arteries, and nerves. Pneumatism was rejected by the contemporary, growing Coan School (and therefore by Hippocrates of Cos) and by Aristotle, but was accepted by Erasistratus, Diocles, Athenaeus, and ultimately Galen. Pneumatism reigned till William Harvey.
