南宋时期浙江与国外的医药交流

南宋时期,浙江一举成为中外科技文化交流的重地.临安(今杭州)、明州(今宁波)、台州、温州等与东南亚诸国、阿拉伯国家乃至东北非洲,都有广泛的医药交流,在中外医药交流史、科技发展史上占有重要的地位.     

古代杭州的佛道教医药学

古代杭州佛教寺院医药、僧侣医师医技、寺院药材、中外佛教医药交流均有各自特点.道教与中医药学关系更为密切,道家的葛洪在杭州留下的足迹,巳成为当今杭城中医药学的名胜古迹.因此,我们窥探古代杭州佛道教医药学发展脉络,理其异同,昭其精华,恩泽后代,意义非浅.     

葛洪的医药思想探微

葛洪,字稚川,号抱朴子,东晋道教学者、炼丹家、医药学家,丹阳句容(今江苏句容)人。葛洪一生"博闻深洽,江左绝伦,著述篇章,富于班马"。①主要著作有《抱朴子》、《肘后备急方》、《神仙传》等。葛洪作为一名"兼修医术"的道教徒,其医药思想也极为深远广博。本文主要通过对《抱朴子·内篇》、《肘后备急方》的窥探,以了解其医药思想和对后世的影响。     

《神农本草经》古今本考异及其与汉代方仙道的关系

现存《神农本草经》诸辑本基本都是从《证类本草》中保留的《本草经集注》辑复而来。在《道藏》《太平御览》等古籍中残存有部分古本《神农本草经》佚文,内容与今本《神农本草经》有所差异:在古本中包含了较多的诸如仙药、炼金、太一崇拜等神仙方术方面的内容,在医药性内容上则普遍较今本为简。又"本草"一名的由来与汉方仙道相关,最早是指被称为"本草待诏"的方士与他们掌握的本草之学。因此可以推断古本《神农本草经》或是汉代本草方士所传或所作的方书,后逐渐融合更多的医药元素而呈现为今本《神农本草经》医药典籍的样式。     

弘扬武当文化 促进两岸交流——“海峡两岸武当文化论坛”在武当山举行

武当山是中国道教名山,被称为道教第九福地。神秘深邃的玄帝信仰、如法如律的道教科仪、缈纱空灵的道教音乐、结构精巧的道教建筑、颇具特色的道教医药、饮誉中外的道教武术(即武当武术),共同构成了博大精深、绚丽多姿的武当文化。武当文化作为中华民族的传统瑰宝,不仅在祖国大     

我国当代医药文化的伦理精神及其建构

当代医药文化是科技、经济与人文一体的复杂系统,其伦理精神应当集焦点于人,以实现医药科技为人的基本价值和目的;伦理精神是医药文化内在制度的核心,医药行业的良好秩序依赖于伦理精神及基于它的合理制度。在“现代性”的背景下,面临被“解构”的医药文化伦理精神建构更应侧重伦理的规范化和制度化,制度与德性共行,共同促进我国当代医药文化伦理精神的建构。

孙子故里“惠民说”新证——惠民县出土北宋乐安吴尧幕志铭考

自北宋欧阳修《新唐书·宰相世系表》和南宋邓名世《古今姓氏书辨证》,载明孙武的祖父田书(字子占)因“伐莒有功,景公赐姓孙氏,食采于乐安”之后,千百年来,人们无不公认乐安是孙子的故里。乐安的今望在何处?1938年2月商务印书馆发行的李浴日《孙子兵法之综台研究》一书,认为“孙子是从唐代之乐安郡,即清代之山东省武定府,今之惠民县附近,奔吴为将,是可信的”。此后,中外著名孙子兵法专家郭化若力

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.
