Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China: Plurality and Synthesis (Science and Cultural Theory)
As a traditional healing art that has established a contemporary global presence, Chinese medicine defies categories and raises many interesting questions.
by Scheid - Duke University Press (2002) - Paperback - ISBN 0822328720 9780822328728
If Chinese medicine is "traditional," why has it not disappeared with the rest of traditional Chinese society? If, as some claim, it is a science, what does that imply about what we call science? What is the secret of Chinese medicine's remarkable adaptability that has allowed it to prosper for more than 2,000 years? In Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China Volker Scheid presents an ethnography of Chinese medicine that seeks to answer these questions, but his ethnography is informed by some atypical approaches.
