This essay might be construed as something of a missive in the vein of Kropotkin's "An Appeal to the Young," from old radicals who accomplished little, to young radicals who must accomplish much. We intend our remarks as preliminary, for it will be the young who will re-make the world, and in the process they will learn much to teach their descendants. This essay draws on both Marxist and anarchist currents in its formulation of revolutionary medicine for the current situation. Marx is necessary for his analysis of capitalism, his historical materialism, for his labor theory of value, for his formulation of history as the history of class struggle, for his emphasis on praxis. Anarchism is necessary for its hatred of capitalism, emphasis on freedom, its defiance of authority, and its radical democracy.

Why should intellectual historians care about the history of medicine? As someone who admires and draws frequently on intellectual history but is mostly an outsider to the field, I asked myself this question after accepting the invitation to review two books related to medical history for Modern Intellectual History. To make the question manageable, I decided to investigate how much the history of medicine had cropped up in the pages of MIH since it began publishing in 2004. Three terms fundamental to the history of medicine went into the MIH search engine: "medicine," "physician," and "disease." "Medicine" yielded seven hits, "physician" three, and "disease" one. Curious to see in what context "medicine" appeared, I clicked on the seven hits and discovered three book reviews, two articles that made mention of medicine only incidentally, and two articles that connected medicine to the history of subjectivity. Because seven hits seemed low and the subjectivity result intrigued me, I went back to the search engine with a more specific set of terms. "Psychology" yielded sixteen hits, "psychoanalysis" fourteen, and "psychiatry" one. These results, of course, only tell us about the publishing record of MIH and not necessarily about the research interests that intellectual historians might have in the history of medicine. Still, they do suggest that the piece of medical history most useful to intellectual historians concerns the mind/brain sciences—that is, those sciences most likely to engage minds, selves, identities, the individual, and related constructs of interiority. Apparently less interesting is work from other vibrant research areas in medical history: diseases (e.g. cholera, cancer, plague), hospitals, medical education, medical practice, medical technology, medical sciences (e.g. physiology, nutrition, biochemistry), and the body, to name just a few. Intellectual historians, it seems, hold a strong but quite selective interest in medicine right now.

This highly topical and controversial book presents a lively re-appraisal of the current changes to the health service and analyzes their effects on the status and practice of health professionals. Modern medicine is a powerful institution. With the help of highly-developed drugs and surgical techniques, it promises to relieve suffering, improve the quality of life and extend the life-span. Conversely, it is expensive for the governments, insurance companies and individuals who pay for it and sometimes appears to be insensitive to the needs of those for whom it provides. And while rec.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine originated from Taoist thought in the pre-Qin period of China, especially the classic "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic of Chinese medicine", while Chinese Taoism also originated from pre-Qin Taoist thought. The representative figure of pre-Qin Taoist thought is Lao Tzu, and his work "Tao Te Ching" is used as a reference Representative, as a Chinese religion pursuing cultivation to become a god, Chinese Taoism respects Lao Tzu as the supreme old monarch and regards him as the leader, and uses Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" as a classic. Therefore, Traditional Chinese medicine and Taoism share the same origin. Taoism believes that in order to become immortal, diseases must be eliminated. Therefore, Taoism in turn uses Traditional Chinese medicine to form a unique Taoist medicine, which is recorded in the Taoist classic "Tao Zang". There are many prescriptions derived from Taoism and Traditional Chinese medicine.
