About the Book

English summary: At a time when general misgivings abound about the advances being made by conventional medicine -which seems to have exhausted its potential - alternativemedicines are booming and growing increasingly popular. They are even being used as complementary therapy by a large portion of populations in developing countries, when they are not being adopted outside of Europe as the dominant traditional standard.The author's aim in this work is to help readers understand these phenomena, initially by recreating the context of a dominant form of medicine now facing acrisis. It offers a comprehensive panorama of these alternative or " soft " medicines, from their most commonthemes to a profile of those who advocate their use, and examines the combination of imaginary andrationality which permeate their discourse and practices.Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy of Universite Jean-Moulin Lyon 3, Jean-Jacques Wunenburger is the Associate Director of the Centre de recherches G.Bachelard of Universite de Bourgogne. He has published a number of scientific works. French description: La medecine scientifique connait a la fois un spectaculaire developpement de ses performances, dues aux innovations biotechnologiques, et une contestation sans precedents. A l'heure du reve de sante parfaite, les medecines alternatives, ou des pratiques candidates au titre de medecine, se multiplient, rencontrent un succes croissant, faisant meme figure de therapies complementaires dans les pays developpes, quand elles ne servent pas parfois, hors d'Europe, a reactiver des medecines traditionnelles.L'ouvrage vise a comprendre ces phenomenes en commencant par reconstituer le contexte de la medecine dominante, qui n'a jamais pu se reduire a une science parce qu'elle a affaire avant tout a des hommes malades et pas seulement a des maladies. Il s'agit ensuite de restituer la complexite de ces medecines alternatives, leurs themes de predilection, le portrait de leurs adeptes, le melange d'imaginaires et de rationalite qui traverse leurs discours et leurs pratiques.Ces analyses autorisent-elles a les rejeter comme des leurres, voire comme des impostures, ou, au contraire, encouragent-elles, sous certaines conditions, a plaider en faveur de leur reevaluation dans nos systemes de sante ? La question est abordee en fonction des grands defis de notre epoque et des mutations generales de la rationalite contemporaine.
