Medicine and Society in Late Imperial China explores the vibrant medical landscape in late imperial China (1600-1850), focusing on one of the most cultured and elegant cities in the lower Yangzi region, Suzhou. The central theme of the book is that the economic prosperity and intellectual vibrancy of late imperial Jiangnan fostered the emergence of a community of physicians who engaged in lively debates concerning qualifications and practice, leading to a growing sense of identity and new ways of theorizing and practicing medicine. It shows that the classical medical tradition interacted in a fluid relationship with both the state and the folk traditions. Medicine and Society in Late Imperial China is divided into two parts. Part I provides a broad framework on the discourse on the ideal physician, as well as examining the sanhuang miao (Temple of the Three Emperors) and challenges to existing medical theories by the wenbing (warm factor) school. Part II focuses on Suzhou physicians and their writings within the broad medical tradition, illustrates a local perspective of medicine’s relationship with the state through an examination of the outbreak of epidemics in Suzhou, and discusses the development of the fields of specialties in medicine.

Contemporary Beijing comes alive in the hands of a young literary star 'An Yu writes beautifully about loneliness, the experience of isolation, and the possibility of human connection, however fragile. Braised Pork is mesmerising' -- Rosie Price, author of What Red Was One autumn morning in Beijing, just after breakfast, Jia Jia's life changes for ever. After the sudden loss of her husband, the young artist sets out on a journey from a hidden jazz and whiskey bar, via a strange and dreamlike world of water, to the high plains of Tibet. Along the way, she crosses paths with people experiencing losses of their own, including someone who may be able to offer her the love she had long thought impossible. Cinematic and delicately beautiful, Braised Pork is an exploration of myth-making, connection, a world beyond words, and of a young woman's search deep into her past, in order to arrive at her future. **A STYLIST BEST BOOK OF 2020**

In der vorliegenden Untersuchung werden die Grenzfälle zwischen dem error in persona und der aberratio ictus behandelt. Der Täter nutzt eine Kausalkette, um ein bestimmtes Objekt zu verletzen, glaubt jedoch, dass das gewünschte Objekt in diese Kette gerät. Dies führt zu einem Doppelindividualisierungsirrtum, wenn die tatsächliche Geschehensentwicklung von der Planung abweicht. Ein Beispiel ist ein Täter, der eine Bombe in das Auto eines Ziels einbaut, aber versehentlich die Frau des Ziels tötet, die das Auto benutzt. Yu-An Hsu kritisiert, dass bisherige Lösungsansätze aus Psychologismus und Intellektualismus die Problematik nicht widerspruchsfrei bewältigen können, da der Täter seine Kenntnisse manipulieren kann. Er schlägt ein Gegenmodell vor, das auf der Unterscheidung zwischen Individuum und Person sowie auf dem Normbefolgungswillen und dem Tatwillen basiert. Die subjektive Zurechnung bewertet die Fähigkeit des Handelnden und ermöglicht es, den Tatwillen anhand der pflichtwidrigen Reaktion festzustellen. Der Gemütszustand wird bewertet, ist jedoch nicht der Maßstab. Die Unterscheidung zwischen konkreter und abstrakter Kenntnis sorgt dafür, dass die Bewertung unabhängig von den Gedanken des Täters zu den Folgen bleibt. Der Tatwille liegt vor, wenn beabsichtigtes Verhalten regelmäßig eine Folge herbeiführt, unabhängig von den Wünschen des Handelnden. Diese Arbeit bietet Lösungen für die umstrittenen Irrtumsprobleme und die un
