We must discover this radical distinction, but we shall not be able to do so if we cannot take up a way of looking at human beings that really leads to their essential nature\" (Rudolf Steiner).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn these twenty lectures, given to medical doctors and students, Steiner presents a new approach to the art of healing, based on the insights of spiritual science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConsidering modern medical knowledge and practice and deeply versed in alchemical, Paracelsian, and naturopathic approaches, as well as homeopathy, aroma therapy, and other \"alternative\" therapies, Rudolf Steiner demonstrates, based on his own research, how a truly integrated whole-person form of medicine is possible--one that accepts the human as a being of body, soul, and spirit, a microcosm in the macrocosm, a mirror of the earth and of the heavens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteiner's enthusiasm and familiarity with his subject are in evidence everywhere in this volume. The wealth of insights and the range of topics are staggering--from the meaning of sickness, polarities in the human organism, and the relation of therapy and pathology, to the nature of plant, mineral, and animal in relation to the human being. Specific organs (heart, lungs, bladder, kidney, liver, and nervous system) and specific diseases (including cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, and meningitis) are brought into extraordinary new relationships and interconnections. The whole question of diagnosis, health, and treatment is repeatedly viewed from various points of view. The result is an astounding new vision of medicine--one that is practical, spiritual, psychological, and fully human. This is no abstract view of medicine; much of the material arose in direct response to the questions of practicing physicians.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work is required reading for anyone interested in the possibility of a non-reductionistic, non-mechanistic, Western-based holistic medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroducing Anthroposophical Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation of \u003ci\u003eGeisteswissenschaft und Medicin\u003c\/i\u003e (GA 312)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4815087\"\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steiner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880106429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880106425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MED\"\u003eMedical\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MED004000\"\u003eAlternative \u0026amp; Complementary Medicine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steiner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42684640264429,"sku":"9780880106429","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7f813a09-7a00-438d-a471-85bf2b6a68ba.jpg?v=1649756546","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/introducing-anthroposophical-medicine-cw-312-9780880106429","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
