  • Title: [Consideration for understanding and developing Chinese materia medica].
    Author: Yin Z.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi; 2008 Feb; 33(3):233-6. PubMed ID: 18536453.
    Abstract:
    To understand and develop Chinese materia medica is a matter not only dealing with progresses of science and technology but also with that of bio-science. In the area of life-science, the activity of human life-science is the most complicated one which is far away to be satisfactorily explained with existing knowledge of science. Therefore, it is much insufficient to explain and qualify the interreaction between Chinese materia medica and process of human-life with knowledge of general science and non-fully developed bioscience. To understand and develop Chinese materia medica is also matter dealing with many issues of social science. In terms of epistemology, it is necessary to consider how to make some social adjustment for scientific practice and drug registration of Chinese materia medica, under precondition of balance among science, life-science, technology, ethics and philosophy.
