GUSTAF RETZIUS – A GLIMPSE INTO HIS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS AND INTO THE FABRIC OF HIS CHARACTER

Year 2016, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 78 - 84, 01.05.2016

Abstract

Magnus Gustaf Retzius, 1842–1919, was a prolific researcher, honored and respected at home and abroad during his lifetime. His achievements are many and varied. He established pivotal and essential foundations in human anatomy and natural sciences on which, even today, research, teaching, medicine and surgery are founded. He paved the way for future scientists to advance and progress in these fields. The precise portrayal and superb presentation of his studies bear witness to a man obsessed with revealing the absolute reality. The text of all his anatomic publications is in German. Regretfully no English translations exist. The high points of Retzius’ research will be presented, and a representation of his lesser-known pursuits described. This paper aspires to arouse reflection on Retzius’ philosophy, principles, standards and sources of inspiration.
