Abstract

Brief assessment of Galen of Pergamon's legacy as a doctor and teacher during the Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire, and of some aspects of his contribution to the history of education, based on some of his treatises, especially a work titled The best type of teaching , which make up a corpus that has not yet been fully translated from ancient Greek into English, Spanish or Portuguese. Attention is especially given to his use of dialectics and logic for the development of a teaching methodology based on analysis, synthesis, exegesis and demonstration, for which he considered the exact definition of terms to be essential.
