The Hippocratic Oath is a philosophical and initiatory text that is not addressed solely to doctors but to every person who wishes to embark on the healing of themselves.

Its aim is the creation of a new society in which Justice and the totality of Moral Virtues will be applied, so that all people can live together brotherly, having managed to subdue the influence exerted upon them by the materialistic way of life and being more concerned about the collective interest than the individual.

The fundamental position of Hippocrates is that a Man can be Healthy only when living in a Healthy Society, which will be properly shaped through the Art of Medicine.

In order to analyze the philosophical meanings of the Oath, an attempt is made for the first time to connect Hippocrates' Medical "Specialties" with Aristotle's "Categories" and Pythagoras' "Pairs of Opposites," so that we may be allowed to enter the inner sanctum of this Healthy Society of which we must strive to become its future members.
