20.500.12556/RUL-135261 “Praying for the Cure” transformations of Japanese medical traditions and the question of modernity »Molitev za zdravilo« preobrazbe japonskih medicinskih tradicij in vprašanje modernosti “Science” and “magic” are not simply two opposing thought processes which have a straightforward relationship, first, on a presumed axis of progress—from magic to science, and second, within the context of a presumed cultural divide—Western “science” vs. Eastern “tradition”. The aim of this paper is to examine in historical perspective the introduction of so-called “Western medicine” in Japan and examine the idea that through this introduction “traditional” Chinese knowledge was simply superseded by “modern” Western science. By looking into the intellectual currents within the field of medicine, specifically in eighteenth-century Japan, and comparing them to those in the West, the article tries to challenge the narrative of “modernity” as a sort of uniquely Western achievement defined by “disenchantment”, “rationalism” and “science”. science medicine West China Japan tradition modernity epidemic disease epistemology znanost medicina Zahod Kitajska Japonska tradicija sodobnost epidemija bolezen epistemologija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-03-03 12:15:56 2022-03-03 12:15:57 2022-09-14 04:12:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 15-44 iss. 1 Vol. 10 (26) 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 61: 16 2232-5131 10.4312/as.2022.10.1.15-44 99562243 RAZ_Culiberg_Luka_2022.pdf RAZ_Culiberg_Luka_2022.pdf 1 E8B1BC3FF1CC4A5536B09FC435183A65 a780e92d9d69aeb76a35e3fe80fffa2ecf6a1d544eae4a3fa2032e96ac083b49 692bd44c-9ae3-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154219 https://revije.ff.uni-lj.si/as/article/view/10441/10033 1 06fd520f-9ae3-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154218 Filozofska fakulteta Asian studies 0 0 0
