摘要

Neither Donkey nor Horse is a tremendous accomplishment that marks Sean Hsiang- lin Lei as a leading historian of Chinese medicine and a major thinker in STS. The book draws together years of Lei's research and publications, but it is far more than a simple summary of past work. Lei places Chinese medicine in an ambitious new framework and offers an insightful examination of the nature of Chinese modernity.
