Description

This text meditates on the contrasts between the human body described in classical Greek medicine and the body as envisaged by physicians in ancient China. It asks how this most basic of human realities came to be conceived by two sophisticated civilizations in radically diverging ways. I t seeks answers in topics such as the history of tactile knowledge, the relationship between the ways of seeing and ways of listening, and the evolution of blood-letting.
