More DescriptionThe Roots of Accordance is designed as an introduction for non-native speakers to the principles of political and ecological holism that structure the medical philosophy of the Huangdi Neijing, the canonical source text for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Presented in three independent yet mutually supportive chapters, author and clinician Justin Penoyer provides a concise, clinically focused examination of the Neijing viewed through the lens of process philosophy, natural science, and systems biology. Readers are taken back to the Neijing's secular roots in the philosophical enlightenment of the late Warring States Period of early China, and then proceed methodically through the sets of political and ecological correspondence that govern the practice of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The mutual correspondences between the individual, sociality, and ecology that are contained within the Nèij?ng offer a sophisticated understanding of human health and the factors contributing to disease. The Roots of Accordance draws upon over fifty chapters from the Lingshu and Suwen to present Chinese medicine as a system of relational science whose adherence to orderliness and natural law make it well-suited to confront the challenges of modern clinical care.
