This book examines the theory and practice of traditional medicine
in modern China. Farquhar describes the logic of diagnosis and
treatment from the inside perspective of doctors and scholars. She
demonstrates how theoretical and textual materials interweave with
the practical requirements of the clinic. By showing how Chinese
medical choices are made, she considers problems of agency in
relation to different forms of knowledge. "Knowing Practice" will
be of value not only to anthropologists interested in medical
practice but also to historians and sociologists interested in the
social life of technical expertise and traditional teachings.
