Culture, Philosophy, and Chinese Medicine : Viennese Lectures, Hardback Book

Culture, Philosophy, and Chinese Medicine : Viennese Lectures Hardback

Part of the Culture and Knowledge series

Hardback

Description

Chinese medicine is a culturally dependent art of healing deeply rooted in the culture and philosophy of the country it originated from: China.

This book has three independent but progressive parts, each bearing the title of one of the three courses taught by the author as a visiting professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, Vienna University, in the 2010-2011 winter semester, namely: Overview of Chinese Culture through Chinese Characters, Fundamental Concepts of Classical Chinese Philosophy and The Importance of Metaphors in Chinese Medicine, which are in the fields of philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and intercultural philosophy, aiming to reveal the essence of philosophy of Chinese language, classical Chinese philosophy and Chinese medicine within the context of a global, multicultural background.

This book sums up the author’s research outcome of the last few years in an area of study on culture, philosophy and Chinese medicine which has been too often misunderstood or insufficiently emphasized.
