Be it purely empirical art as western medical science would have it, or a genuine scicence whose modus operandi remains to be difined in western terms, there is no arguuing the fact that Chinese Medicine offers the practitioner an entirely coherent and auto-consistent approach to diagnosis, one possessed of its own formal operating tool. The approach and the tools in question are better conceived within the context of a systemic analysis of the universe and man's place in it, than in that of classical anatomo-physiology.
This book was, therefore, indeed selected in accordace with a prejudice: the prejudice that Chinese Medicine is to be considered as a science in its own right, that is, a coherent explanatory process organised around a consistent methodology within an epistemological system whit clearly defined premises. All the elements of this process and this system may be logically decuced from the particular vision of the universe which informs them.
