A Brief History of Ayurveda【電子書籍】[ M.R. Raghava Varier ]
＜p＞For over two and a half millennia ?yurveda was the mainstream healthcare programme in the Indian subcontinent. However, what was once seen as indispensable, is now often officially described as ‘alternative medicine’. Moreover, there seems to be a lack of proper understanding of the specific culture from which ?yurveda emerged. This is because existing works on the subject have mostly been mere compilations of ?yurvedic practices and focused on classical texts. This book studies the stages of development in the system of ?yurveda and its practice from proto-historic times until British colonization. Using original P?li and Sanskrit works, archaeological artefacts, as well as oft-neglected medieval epigraphic documents, M.R. Raghava Varier highlights how centuries of privileging Western knowledge has resulted in the sidelining of indigenous learningーa process that accelerated with the advent of colonialism. Further, he makes use of Jain and Buddhist sources to question the assumption that ?yurveda is a purely Hindu or Brahmanical system, thus providing a historiographical frame for conceptually establishing the notion of ?yurveda.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 　　楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア 　　楽天 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
