Anatomie du répertoire de Kent

The favour enjoyed by the Kent repertory is mainly due to the quality of its management of the homeopathic Materia Medica with its logical arrangement described here, which is essential to know its proper use. This arrangement has the essential feature of systematically unfolding from the general to the specific. Then a detailed descriptive analysis of the repertory contents shows the location, the relative extent and the respective characteristics of its different sections. It then becomes possible to define its characteristics and limitations, to discuss its reliability and summarize the conditions for its use. This model-repertory gives an overall view of the extraordinary variety of reactions of living things and is a potentially fruitful tool, beyond its leading role in homeopathy, for humanities scholars.
