Chinese medicine as a part of Chinese philosophy, and western medicine as a place for the use of scientific advances: perspectives and problems
Yulia Chukova | Krasnopresnenskiy Ecological Fund, Russia

In the history of our civilization there is one big riddle connected with independent existence of Orient (Chinese) and Western (European) medicines during two millenniums. This independence arose in that times, when China was artificially divided from the rest of world. Now in the period of globalization all artificial boundaries fell, and striking independence of European medicine and Chinese medicine becomes a subject of discussion. At 13th International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (2007, Beijing, China) for the first time there was the Special Symposium “Chinese Tradition medicine vs. Western Medicine”.

Now there is the method which allows to make a bridge from Western science to tradition Chinese medicine (TCM). This bridge is given by new branch of thermodynamics, namely, irreversible thermodynamics of physiological processes under electromagnetic radiation [Chukova Yu.P. Advances in nonequilibrium thermodynamics of systems under electromagnetic radiation. Khrizostom, Moscow, 2001, ISBN 5-7508-9285-X]. This new science can be a dictionary for translation of terminology of Chinese medicine in language of Western science.

The modern understanding of a place of the Chinese and Western medicine in an overall picture of modern natural sciences is given; ways of their logical bringing together are been shown. Problems and public health services prospects are analyzed for the near future.
