Abstract
Rural Philosophy (1763) is the most important work of Physiocracy. Signed by Mirabeau, but written together with Quesnay, it is described by the authors in chapter 7 as an “anatomical demonstration” of the political body represented in the Economic Tableau. This article takes this proposal seriously and seeks to expose, in a schematic way, the guidelines of the physiocratic project as a social medicine, namely, its anatomy, physiology and etiology and the way in which they base their clinical practice, that is, a diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
