"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.
