John Brown

    15 september 1923 – 26 augustus 2015

    John Brown was een Schotse arts en essayist, vooral bekend om zijn driedelige collectie Horae Subsecivae, die essays en artikelen over kunst, medische geschiedenis en biografie bevatte. Zijn geschriften onthullen een diepe betrokkenheid bij kunst, medische geschiedenis en biografische onderwerpen, waarbij hij vaak de complexe relatie tussen wetenschappelijke vooruitgang en het welzijn van de patiënt onderzocht. Brown had sterke opvattingen over de beperkingen van examens bij het beoordelen van de voortgang van studenten en betwijfelde het idee dat wetenschappelijke vooruitgang altijd in het belang van de patiënt was. Via essays als "Rab and his Friends" en "Pet Marjorie" toonde hij een bedachtzame en humane literaire stem.
