As the historical roots from which Chinese medicine was derived, classical Chinese medical texts must be understood in a multidisciplinary context. The purpose of this course is to provide a historical, philosophical, linguistic, anthropological, and political context for the general study of Chinese medicine, as well as the focused study of specific classical Chinese medical texts. These texts are the historically validated sources of evidence that ground modern integrative Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) in an authentic historical continuum.
