  • European Doctors in Pre-Colonial India
    Perspectives The truth behind the legend: European doctors in pre-colonial India RAJESH KOCHHAR Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Koramangala, Bangalore 560 034, India (Fax, 91-80-5534043; Email, rkk@ iiap.ernet.in) The aim of this article is to point out that the medical history of India in the seventeenth century needs to be studied for its bearing on the history of medical science in this country. During the period 1644-1717, European physicians in India were sought and pampered by the Indian ruling class. English doctors were able to translate this professional goodwill into concrete commercial concessions for the British East India Company. The concessions gave the Company an edge over its rivals, and, more importantly, gave it a cause to fight for. In consequence, the Company was transformed from a vaishya (trading) organization into a kshatriya (territorial) one. These conclusions warrant a more rigorous professional study of European doctors vis-a-vis their Indian counterparts in the pre-colonial period. 1. Introduction 2. Knowledge of Indian medicine in Europe: the story of Garcia d'Orta We live in an age of cultural Copernicanism (Kochhar 1999). In cosmology the Copernican principle states that The Europeans brought not only syphilis from their ocean the universe has no preferred location or direction. In a voyages but also new remedies. There was a concerted similar fashion, cultural Copernicanism asserts that no attempt to incorporate the traditional knowledge of the cultural, geographical or ethnic area can be deemed to be Americas and the East Indies into the European a benchmark to be used to evaluate and judge others.

  • Early Modern Medical Regimes of Knowledge: Europe and India Compared 1 Michael Pearson
    Early Modern Medical Regimes of Knowledge: Europe and India Compared 1 Michael Pearson Very Rough Draft; Do Not Quote This paper rests on two assumptions, both of them now under discussion and challenge. First, that there were advances in science in Europe which conventionally are summed up as a “scientific revolution.” Second, that these advances preceded, and underpinned, industrial advances in the west. It is for others to debate these two matters, and also the significance or even very existence of an “industrial revolution.” In this paper I merely assume that these two claims still have some heuristic value at least. If this were the case, then the history of medicine, as one part of science, provides a useful entrée to the topic. We can delineate strongly contrasting regimes of knowledge in this area in early modern India and 1 I have published several more or less empirical articles and chapters on Asian and European medical matters. For the present paper I’ve reused some of the data from some of these publications, but cast them into a new and more over arching summary.

Her encouragement and support helped balance the vagaries of my graduate school experience. As my dissertation took shape, her guidance challenged me. Thank you to my committee: Kathryn Cramer Brownell pushed me to engage in the wider academic community and assisted in many ways. Yvonne Pitt’s enthusiasm and critique motivated me. Wendy Kline’s thoughtful comments helped me conceptualize disability. Conversations with faculty members David Atkinson, Doug Hurt and John Larson fortified my resolve. I appreciate the institutional support from the Department of History and Purdue University. Staff members Fay Chan and Julie Knoeller answered my many questions with good humor. Funding from the Harold D. Woodman research award, the College of Liberal Arts PROMISE award and the Center for C-SPAN helped finance my research and conference participation as did a travel grant from the Organization of American Historians.

  • The Chinese Medical Missionary Journal
    Chinese Perspectives on Medical Missionaries in the 19th Century: The Chinese Medical Missionary Journal 著者 Gao Xi journal or Journal of Cultural Interaction in East Asia publication title volume 5 page range 97-118 year 2014-03 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10112/10510 Chinese Perspectives on Medical Missionaries in the 19th Century: The Chinese Medical Missionary Journal GAO Xi* Introduction The China Medical Missionary Journal (CMMJ) was an English-language academic medical journal first published in 1887 by the Medical Missionary Association of China (MMAC). It was intended for medical missionary colleagues working in China. Later it reported on events sponsored by the Association and other information, published papers on the members’ experi- ences in medicine, their investigations of local diseases, and information on updates in Western medical science. It also published studies on traditional Chinese medicine, which it recognized, and on how to stay healthy. Moreover, while the China Medical Missionary Journal kept up-to-date on trends in medical missionary developments, it also carried special items on severe problems in the medical mission on an irregular basis. The China Medical Missionary Journal changed its name to the China Medical Journal (CMJ) in 1907. In 1932, the Medical Missionary Association of China (MMAC) and the National Medical Association of China (NMAC) merged. When the merger took place, the China Medical Journal and the National Medical Journal of China (NMJA) also combined and was later renamed The Chinese Medical Journal, which has English and Chinese versions. The English version of The Chinese Medical Journal, based on the China Medical Missionary Journal and Chinese Medical Journal, is so far the only academic periodical that has lasted for over two centuries and is published both at home and abroad.
