針灸、三伏貼、清冠一號 那些差點被消失的傳統醫學 12篇專文，完整述說一段中醫存廢的歷史 一場廢除中醫的風暴，颳起時代的反動與不安 1928年，國民政府衛生部正式成立，大力推動衛生的現代性。根據該部組織法，設立「中央衛生委員會」，以之作為衛生決策的議決機關。當時擔任委員者，無一具有中醫背景，顯示傳統中醫在國家進行現代化時所面臨的危機。第1屆委員會於1929年2月23日在南京召開，會議上以「中醫妨礙全國醫事衛生」為理由，提出四項針對廢除中醫之提案，統稱為「廢除中醫案」，其目的在於採取漸進手段來限制中醫，最終達到完全消滅中醫的目標。 從中西論戰到中西合璧 回眸歷史，即將邁向95週年的「廢除中醫案」風波，訴說著中醫近代史的發展，可謂篳路藍縷、步步艱辛。從在醫藥界的「失語」，逐漸流失其本體知識，爾後峰迴路轉、搖身一變，到現今中醫藥已站上國際舞臺。我們可以在大醫院和小診所，看到中醫的身影；我們可以服用臺灣清冠一號來對抗對凶狠的新冠肺炎，不用擔憂西藥之不足，這些歷史發展豈是僥倖所能獲致？探索這段由低谷爬起的歷程，實為傳統中國文化與技術發展史上，少數能抗衡西方文化衝擊的實例，也是最能彰顯民國史多元「現代性」的史學論題。 醫療史的新解方 多數中醫藥從業者或醫史研究者，對該案都不陌生，但我們卻缺乏一本對該論題深入探究的學術專書。本書邀集兩岸學者共同撰稿，一同來關心近代中醫的發展，重新梳理中醫存廢與醫界論戰的故事，並拓展論述廣度，分析醫者和文獻、藥品與技術、民間手抄本等幾個重要論題，以豐富中國醫療史的整體研究。 中西醫學者 盛情推薦 王文基 國立陽明交通大學科技與社會研究所特聘教授兼人文與社會科學院院長 林文源 國立清華大學通識教育中心教授、清華學院「人文社會AI應用與發展研究中心」主任 林昭庚 中央研究院院士、中國醫藥大學中醫學院講座教授、財團法人中國醫藥研究發展基金會董事長 孫茂峰 中國醫藥大學董事、中國醫藥大學中醫學院教授 高尚德 中國醫藥大學教授、中國醫藥大學附設醫院中醫副院長 黃怡超 衛生福利部中醫藥司司長 黃澤宏 長庚體系中醫醫療發展召集人、林口長庚紀念醫院中醫部部主任 郭文華 國立陽明交通大學科技與社會研究所特聘教授兼圖書館副館長 陳光偉 馬偕紀念醫院中醫部主任 陳潮宗 台北市中醫師公會名譽理事長 陳麒方 社團法人台灣中醫臨床醫學會理事長 張永賢 德國漢堡大學醫學博士、中

The sociology of the Middle East has been an expanding field of inquiry since the aftermath of World War II when phenomena as diverse as urbanization, internal and international migration, and peasant societies attracted the attention of scholars working on the region. The Middle East becamecentral in key sociological debates on modernization theory and the critical responses. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of the Middle East connects this historical trajectory with the emergence of the sociology of Islam, inspired by Max Weber. It explores how within the global community, the Middle East has become a terrain of heightened concern within the post-Cold War context, where the promising rise of civic (and often religiously-motivated) sociopolitical movements in the 1980s and 1990s has been slowly overwhelmed by the affirmation of jihadist networks, authoritarian states, and complex supranational security apparatuses. This foundational volume starts by engagingin a critical examinati
