Medical ethics and therapeutic knowledge in China : a perspective on historical foundations, encounters, internationalisation and co-construction

Résumé

In the Chinese context, past and present encounters between several medical traditions have transformed the health-care system including medical ethics. As a result, actual ethics show both inherited 'Chinese' and international characteristics. Health-related ideas, practices and experiences offer a plural landscape. In post-Mao China (Reform Era from 1979 on), medical sciences developed within the wider framework of social and economic transition while China gained influence in R&D, basic sciences research and technology. Two sets of ethics principles - one from Late Imperial China, another from the 1980s, were selected: both of them reveal 'historical turns' in medical ethics, Chinese medicine and the broader health-related field in line with drastic changes in Chinese society including the transformation of values and norms. The chapter is organized as follows: the two mentioned historical sets and their situated meanings are discussed in regard to changes and encounters. The situation in 2000s globalizing China - regarding Chinese medicine related ethics, and the process of internationalization and of (co)construction of knowledge - is then examined. In order to facilitate the reader's understanding, details about the selected sets of principles are indicated at the end of the main text.
