| Resumen: |
Este libro se ha definido en torno a tres cuestiones importantes: la primera arroja luz sobre cómo las personas, en diversos contextos filosóficos, religiosos y polÃticos, entienden el entorno natural y cómo se percibe la relación entre el entorno y el cuerpo; el segundo se centra en las percepciones de que un entorno natural particular es bueno o malo para la salud humana y examina las razones detrás de tales caracterizaciones; el tercero examina la promoción, en la historia, de prácticas especÃficas para aprovechar los beneficios para la salud, o evitar los daños, causados ​​por ciertos entornos y también los esfuerzos realizados para cambiar entornos supuestamente nocivos para la salud humana. El sentimiento y/o la observación de que el entorno natural puede tener efectos sobre la salud humana han sido y siguen siendo comúnmente compartidos en todo el mundo. Esto nos llevó a plantear la cuestión de los vÃnculos observados y que se cree que existen entre los seres humanos y el medio natural en un marco cronológico y geográfico amplio. En esta investigación, llevamos al lector desde la China antigua y tardÃa imperial hasta el mundo árabe medieval y la Europa medieval, moderna y contemporánea. Este libro no examina estas relaciones a través del prisma del conocimiento de nuestra experiencia europea contemporánea, que, todavÃa con demasiada frecuencia, conduce a la sensación de mundos totalmente diferentes. Más bien, cuestiona a los protagonistas que, en diferentes épocas y lugares, han reflexionado, en sus propios términos, sobre los vÃnculos entre el medio ambiente y la salud y trata de obtener una mejor comprensión de por qué estos vÃnculos tomaron la forma que tomaron en estos contextos precisos. . Este libro está dirigido a lectores académicos asà como a una "audiencia informada", para quienes los problemas actuales del medio ambiente y la salud pueden nutrirse de las reflexiones del pasado. |

| Summary : |
This book has been defined around three important issues: the first sheds light on how people, in various philosophical, religious, and political contexts, understand the natural environment, and how the relationship between the environment and the body is perceived; the second focuses on the perceptions that a particular natural environment is good or bad for human health and examines the reasons behind such characterizations ; the third examines the promotion, in history, of specific practices to take advantage of the health benefits, or avoid the harm, caused by certain environments and also efforts made to change environments supposed to be harmful to human health. The feeling and/or the observation that the natural environment can have effects on human health have been, and are still commonly shared throughout the world. This led us to raise the issue of the links observed and believed to exist between human beings and the natural environment in a broad chronological and geographical framework. In this investigation, we bring the reader from ancient and late imperial China to the medieval Arab world up to medieval, modern, and contemporary Europe. This book does not examine these relationships through the prism of the knowledge of our modern contemporary European experience, which, still too often, leads to the feeling of totally different worlds. Rather, it questions protagonists who, in different times and in different places, have reflected, on their own terms, on the links between environment and health and tries to obtain a better understanding of why these links took the form they did in these precise contexts. This book targets an academic readership as well as an "informed audience", for whom present issues of environment and health can be nourished by the reflections of the past. |
