TAILIEUCHUNG - Medicine, Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China

Despite meager funding for pain research in the United States, the field of pain medicine is highly active, as demonstrated by growth in the number of pain medicine publications and journals, develop- ment of pain medicine associations, passage of pain medicine legislation for the military and Veterans Affairs, and most recently, congressional activity to pass the National Pain Care Policy Act of 2009. Significant advances are also evident in pain research, diagnosis, and therapy, including new techniques such as neurophysiologic testing, central nervous system imaging and diagnostics, and discoveries at the molecular and genetic levels of pain. Thus, current research, technology,. | Nathan Sivin Medicine Philosophy and Religion in Ancient China Researches and reflections VARIORUM 1995 z j Sivin ON THE WORD TAOIST AS A SOURCE OF PERPLEXITY. WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE RELATIONS OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION IN TRADITIONAL CHINA I have been asked to contribute to this special volume my thoughts on the relations between religion and science in traditional China.

My theme will be the confusion in our understanding of Chinese science wrought by the frequent use of the word Taoist to denote nothing more specific than a frame of mind natureloving perhaps or mystical in a naturalistic way or unconventional in discussions that are meant to be about a religion an association of persons who hold a body of beliefs. I will demonstrate that such vagueness affects current discussions of the relations between Taoism and science in which the roles of Taoism and Confucianism
