Abstract
The classical text, written by the founder of physiocracy in 1743, which is published in Russian for the first time, explicates his general scientific method in a wide perspective. Quesnay fruitfully applied his method that consisted of two interconnected elements (observation and physical experience) in metaphysics and political economy. Using this method in the "Introduction", Quesnay attempted to reveal the general scientific basis of surgery, or "art to cure", and therefore severely criticized many medical and philosophical techniques widely accepted among his contemporaries.
