Medizin- und kulturgeschichtliche Konnexe des Pietismus. Heilkunst und Ethik, arkane Traditionen, Musik, Literatur und Sprache(herausgegeben von Irmtraut Sahmland und Hans-Jürgen Schrader)

自下半年的17世纪虔诚主义无疑是一个宗教运动与多方面的影响，对知识和文化的历史，以及对科学史。最初在这卷的重点明确地去虔诚主义的连接和影响的历史医学。相反，多余的研究有关历史的哈雷虔诚主义，我们只有稀缺的知识，但有关虔诚主义社区与国际联系（丹麦和美国）分散，特别是在西部的德国。这些异质的，部分基本的和激进的教派仍然是一个几乎未知的领域。本卷中的创新研究涉及17世纪末至19世纪后期，重点是18世纪。（医生，病人，医学外行治疗师）的研究让位于几种方法，以医疗事项，作为健康和疾病的意义，演变出的基本教义的虔诚的社区，并且还涉及由于这种特殊理解而产生的治疗方法。虔诚主义明显地陈述了基督徒医生必须遵守的特定伦理和道德规范，特别是关于虔诚主义影响下的医疗实践，已经概述了一些特征要素，包括特定的医患关系。然而，问题是是否有一个真正的虔诚医学。由于科学的历史，有一个重要的兴趣是如何描述虔诚主义影响的医学理论和实践之间的调解和保护传统，一方面和预测和准备未来的发展。需要进一步研究，以获得本卷中提出的调查结果的答案。

Since the second half of the 17th century Pietism is undoubtedly a religious movement with manifold influences on intellectual and cultural history as well as on the history of science. Initially in this volume the focus explicitly goes to pietism¿s connections and influences on the history of medicine.In contrast to the redundant studies concerning the history of the Halle pietism we only have scarce knowledge yet about pietistic communities with international connections (Denmark and the United States) scattered especially in the western part of Germany. These heterogeneous, partly fundamental and radical denominations are still an almost terra incognita. The innovative research studies in this volume refer to the end of the 17th century up to the later 19th century with emphasis on the 18th century.Focused on particular protagonists (doctors, patients, medical laymen healers) the studies give way to several approaches to medical matters, as to the meaning of health and disease which evolved out of the basic doctrines of the pietistic communities, and furthermore to the therapeutic methods due to this special understanding. Pietism obviously stated specific ethical and moral norms obliging christian doctors.Especially concerning the medical practice under influence of pietism some characteristic elements have been outlined, including a specific healer-patient-relationship. However, the question is whether or not there was a genuine ¿pietistic medicine¿. Due to the history of science there is an important interest of how to characterize pietism-influenced medical theory and practice between mediating and conserving traditions on the one hand and anticipating and preparing future developments on the other. Further research is needed to obtain answers following the findings presented in this volume.
