Synopsis

In the last years an increasing interest in TCM has emerged in the Western world. This interest is both practical and theoretical. This book is written for all those with a practical interest in TCM; it gathers texts for those interested in TCM in a philosophical way, but is not loaded with too detailed philosophical information. This book is suitable for practitioners of TCM and for all those who are interested in the structure of TCM and Western medicine.

About the Author

The Author: Friedrich G. Wallner is professor for the Philosophy of Science at the University of Vienna. His publications cover a wide range from the Philosophy of Language, Contemporary Philosophy of Science to fundamental problems in Philosophy of Science. In the last 15 years he developed a new philosophy of Science: Constructive Realism. This approach opens many new ways to discuss, to ground and to demarcate science. In the last 10 years his specific interest has been focused on the relation between science and culture. In this context he analysed the structure of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The author has published widely on 150 essays as well as 10 books.
