UnschuldTranslator: Karen ReimersContributor: Karen Reimers (Translated by)Language: EnglishSubtitle: Western and Eastern Approaches to HealingISBN-10: 0520257669Description: "What Is Medicine? Western and Eastern Approaches to Healing" is the first comparative history of two millennia of Western and Chinese medicine from their beginnings in the centuries BCE through present advances in sciences like molecular biology and in Western adaptations of traditional Chinese medicine. In his revolutionary interpretation of the basic forces that undergird shifts in medical theory, Paul U. Unschuld relates the history of medicine in both Europe and China to changes in politics, economics, and other contextual factors. Drawing on his own extended research of Chinese primary sources as well as his and others' scholarship in European medical history, Unschuld argues against any claims of 'truth' in former and current, Eastern and Western models of physiology and pathology. "What Is Medicine?" makes an eloquent and timely contribution to discussions on health care policies while illuminating the nature of cognitive dynamics in medicine, and it stimulates fresh debate on the essence and interpretation of reality in medicine's attempts to manage the human organism.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, MedicineRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
