Features: The introduction of science to China is both a historical event and a cultural event. The integration process of science and Chinese culture is winding, which is the sinicization of science. Based on the value of holistic thinking, this book treats the sinicization of science and the scientization of China as two aspects of the same issue, unifying them for discussion at the level of holism. It breaks through the narrowness of instrumental rationality, evaluates Chinese culture from the perspective of science, technology, and society, and argues that Chinese culture plays an active role in fostering a new model of world culture. It holds that the holistic thinking of Chinese culture is a key factor in constructing holistic science, especially in the holistic scientific value of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a sinicized science in the holistic sense. The target readers of this book are university teachers and students, research managers, philosophers, science historians, and enthusiasts.
