This volume provides a history of how "the human" has been
constituted as a subject of scientific inquiry in China from the
seventeenth century to the present. Organized around four
themes-"Parameters of Human Life," "Formations of the Human
Subject," "Disciplining Knowledge," and "Deciphering Health"-it
scrutinizes the development of scientific knowledge and technical
interest in human organization within an evolving Chinese society.
Spanning the Ming-Qing, Republican, and contemporary periods, its
twenty-four original, synthetic chapters ground the mutual
construction of "China" and "the human" in concrete historical
contexts. As a state-of-the-field survey, a definitive textbook for
teaching, and an authoritative reference that guides future
research, this book pushes Sinology, comparative cultural studies,
and the history of science in new directions.
