    "In Song-dynasty China (960-1279), narratives based on authors' personal experience began to proliferate in medical treatises, introducing a new strategy for substantiating knowledge. The rise of this empirical approach, which had appeared only sporadically in pre-Song medical literature, provides a window into transformations in the construction of textual authority in middle-period China. Ruth Yun-Ju Chen traces this development by examining medical genres and notebooks (biji), showing that it was both a product of and a catalyst for a broader epistemic transition and the advent of a new medical learning environment"-- Why and how did the strategy of documenting medical practices through personal experience rise to prominence in China? This question is at the heart of Good Formulas, the first book-length study of the use of empirical evidence in Chinese medicine between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. The rise of this new approach to substantiating knowledge, which had appeared only sporadically in earlier medical literature, provides a window into transformations in the construction of textual authority in mid-imperial China. Focusing on medical genres and working extensively with notebooks (biji), Ruth Yun-Ju Chen shows that employing empirical evidence became prominent in conjunction with a publishing boom that enabled wider availability of medical texts and treatises. To convince a more socioculturally diverse readership to believe their claims and to win intertextual debates with contemporaneous authors, many Song medical authors turned to empirical methodology. Revealing a correlation between publishing cultures and changes in persuasion strategies in medical genres, Good Formulas offers new insights into the histories of medicine, knowledge production, and publishing in China. It also provides rich examples for scholars interested in the development of empirical evidence in the premodern world

    Die Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Doris Lessing hat ein umfangreiches Werk hinterlassen und beschäftigte sich über 52 Jahre intensiv mit Krankheiten, Arztbildern und Methoden der Medizin. Ihre Darstellung lässt sich nicht auf einzelne Einflüsse reduzieren, sondern greift eine ideologisierte und politisierte Medizin ebenso auf, wie Schwächen radikaler Gegenentwürfe. Systeme der Rassentrennung sowie marxistische und faschistoide Theorien werden in ihrer Brutalität illustriert. Durch die Rezeption C. G. Jungs und wichtiger medizinhistorischer Motive erfolgt ein Gegenentwurf, der Leid und existentielle Umstände des Menschseins mit wissenschaftichen Methoden zu versöhnen sucht. Soziale Dimensionen offenbaren den Arzt als „Sisyphos“, der eigene Schwächen mit denen des Patienten aufgreift, um letztlich doch immer zu scheitern. Die Analyse der zeitlosen Gedankenexperimente Lessings bietet damit Klinikern und Patienten perspektivenreiche Einblicke in den medizinischen Alltag.
