PDF-[BOOK]-A Cultural History of Modern Science in China (New Histories of Science, Technology,

Historians of science and Sinologists have long needed a unified narrative to describe the Chinese development of modern science medicine and technology since 1600 They welcomed the appearance in 2005 of Benjamin Elmans masterwork On Their Own Terms Now Elman has retold the story of the Jesuit impact on late imperial China circa 16001800 and the Protestant era in early modern China from the 1840s to 1900 in a concise and accessible form ideal for the classroom This coherent account of the emergence of modern science in China places that emergence in historical context for both general students of modern science and specialists of China.

This edited collection examines the role of medical technologies in the history of medicine, of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools, prostheses and apparatus. The volume also discusses the social, cultural, political and economic contexts from which these medical technologies emerged, and, in turn, how technical innovations gave rise to new social constellations. A central purpose of the volume is to show what consequences new practices linked to the uptake of certain technologies had for the history of medicine more widely. 1 - I (A) – Personal details: Prof. P. Bhaskar Reddy Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati . Prof. K.P. Rao University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad. Prof. K. Rajan Pondicherry University , Pondicherry From the recovery of ancient ritual magic at the height of the Renaissance to the ignominious demise of alchemy at the dawn of the Enlightenment, Mark A. Waddell explores the rich and complex ways that premodern people made sense of their world. He describes a time when witches flew through the dark of night to feast on the flesh of unbaptized infants, magicians conversed with angels or struck pacts with demons, and astrologers cast the horoscopes of royalty. Ground-breaking discoveries changed the way that people understood the universe while, in laboratories and coffee houses, philosophers discussed how to reconcile the scientific method with the veneration of God. This engaging, illustrated new study introduces readers to the vibrant history behind the emergence of the modern world. This introduction to the history of science in the seventeenth century examines the so-called \'scientific revolution\' in terms of the interplay between two major themes. The Platonic-Pythagorean tradition looked on nature in geometric terms with the conviction that the cosmos was constructed according to the principles of mathematical order, while the mechanical philosophy conceived of nature as a huge machine and sought to explain the hidden mechanisms behind phenomena. Pursuing different goals, these two movements of thought tended to conflict with each other, and more than the obviously mathematical sciences were affected - the influence spread as far as chemistry and the life sciences. As this book demonstrates, the full fruition of the scientific revolution required a resolution of the tension between the two dominant trends.
