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

自17世纪下半叶以来，虔诚主义无疑是一场宗教运动，对思想史和文化史以及科学史产生了多方面的影响。在这本书中，最初的焦点明确地放在虔诚、S的联系和对医学史的影响上。与关于哈雷虔诚历史的多余研究相反，我们对分散在德国西部的具有国际联系的虔诚社区(丹麦和美国)只有稀少的知识。这些不同的、部分是基本的和激进的教派仍然是一个几乎不知名的地方。这一卷中的创新性研究涉及17世纪末至19世纪末，重点是18世纪。聚焦于特定的主人公(医生、病人、医学门外汉治疗师)，这些研究让位于几种处理医学问题的方法，如从虔诚社区的基本教义演变而来的健康和疾病的含义，以及由于这种特殊理解而产生的治疗方法。虔诚明显地规定了基督教医生的特定伦理道德规范。特别是关于虔诚影响下的医疗实践，已经概述了一些特征元素，包括特定的医者-患者-关系。然而，问题是是否有一种真正的虔诚药物。由于科学史的原因，如何在调解和保护传统与预测和准备未来发展之间描述受虔诚影响的医学理论和实践是一个重要的兴趣。根据本卷中提出的发现，需要进行进一步的研究才能获得答案。

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.
