  William Harvey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Harvey (April 1, 1578 - June 3, 1657) was a medical doctor who first correctly described in exact detail the circulatory system of blood being pumped around the body by the heart.
Born in Folkestone, England, Harvey was educated at the King's School, Canterbury, at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, from which he received a BA in 1597, and at the University of Padua, where he studied under Fabricius, graduating in 1602.
Harvey was still regarded as an excellent doctor, he was personal physician to James I (1618-25) and Charles I (1625-47) and the Lumleian lecturer to the Royal College of Physicians (1615-56).

Harvey's courage, penetrating intelligence, and precise methods were to set the pattern for research in biology and other sciences for succeeding generations, so that he shares with William Gilbert, investigator of the magnet, the credit for initiating accurate experimental research throughout the world.
William, the eldest of nine children, was the only one to achieve special distinction in his career, but all his brothers were successful in business or at the royal court in London and among them amassed considerable wealth.
Harvey's duties consisted of attending in the hall of the hospital to see the patients and prescribe for their treatment; he worked at least one day a week throughout the year and at any other time when specially needed.

Harvey identified a passage from Aristotle as his guiding principle in the formulation of his systems: “Faith is to be given to reason if the things which are being demonstrated agree with those which are perceived by sense: when they have become adequately known the sense should be trusted more than reason.
Harvey was correct in suggesting that the universe possessed a logical order by which it functioned and that the comprehension of that order is essential to human mastery of the universe and, in Harvey’s particular case, human mastery over man’s own circulatory system’s well-being.
Harvey may have discredited such a “novel extreme” in word due to his reluctance to part with a theological paradigm that had dominated the Western world for fifteen centuries prior, yet throughout his work and throughout his methodology is implied a support for Descartes’ ambitions in deed.

The English physician William Harvey (1578-1657) was the founder of modern experimental physiology and the first to use quantitative methods to establish verifiability in the natural sciences.
In 1618 Harvey was appointed physician extraordinary to King James I. Although Harvey's practice suffered because of his radical views, he was appointed physician in ordinary to King Charles I in 1630, and in 1633 he was with Charles's court in Scotland.
Harvey probably arranged it this way in order to avoid trouble in England, for he realized that his ideas flaunted the conventional teaching about the heart, which had been derived from the writings of Galen.

Harvey formally presented his findings in 1628, when his Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (Anatomical Essay on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals) was published.
Harvey's De Motu Cordis subjected him to severe criticism by some contemporaries, but this was more than compensated for by the later widespread recognition of his contribution.

Harvey's new understanding of the circulation of the blood had very little effect on the practice of medicine in his lifetime, yet it became the foundation for all modern research on the heart and cardiovascular medicine.
It has been said that Harvey's proof of the continuous circulation of the blood within a contained system was the seventeenth century's most significant achievement in physiology and medicine - in fact, his work is considered to be one of the most important contributions in the history of medicine.
