帕拉塞尔苏斯、菲利克斯·普拉特和托马斯·威利斯的作品尽管各自的历史和文化背景不同，但有两个共同点。首先，他们描述的人似乎既以有问题的方式与自己的世界联系起来，也以有问题的方式与外部世界联系起来，作者们把这些人称为“愚笨”（stultitia）、“fatuitas”或“stupiditas”。我的翻译故意不精确，我希望读者不要草率地得出结论，认为它代表了现代医学中可识别的任何临床概念；更确切地说，它是一个代数x，其内容需要进一步研究。第二个共同因素是，一些评论家确实认为，这些文本恰恰包含了现代智力残疾概念（“智力迟钝”、“学习障碍”等）的“早期”诊断。这种具有公理地位的信念，预设了这样的概念在不同的历史时期以一种或多或少可以相互识别的形式存在，因此，这里讨论的医学作家所说的“愚蠢”，如果从根本上说，就是我们的“智力缺陷”。然而，“愚蠢”需要更仔细的检查，我试图在这里提供。
The texts by Paracelsus, Felix Platter and Thomas Willis under consideration here have two things in common, despite their separate historical and cultural settings. First, they describe people who seem to relate both to their own world and to the external world in problematical ways which the authors variously call stultitia, fatuitas or stupiditas: “foolishness”. My translation is intentionally imprecise and will, I hope, restrain the reader from jumping to the conclusion that it signifies any clinical concept recognizable in modern medicine; it is, rather, an algebraic x whose content needs further investigation. The second common factor is that these are precisely the texts which some commentators do indeed believe to contain “early” diagnoses of a modern concept of intellectual disability (“mental retardation”, “learning disability” etc.). This belief, of axiomatic status, presupposes that some such concept has existed across different historical periods in a more or less mutually recognizable form, and therefore that “foolishness”, in the medical writers discussed here, just is, if primitively, our “intellectual disability”. However “foolishness” needs closer examination, which I attempt to provide here.
