  Chinese Science and Medicine
To sum up, the Chinese sciences were able to attain a high standard--at times the highest in the world--without the overarching structure of natural philosophy that subsumed science in Europe and without the naive claims to universal knowledge that modern positivists have sometimes attempted to read back into the Western tradition.
The sciences described will be those the Chinese defined by applying their concepts of order to various areas of experience--the sky for astronomy and astrology, the bodies of humans and animals for medicine, and so on.
As each of the qualitative sciences assumed its classical form, yin-yang and the five phases were given special definitions related to the subject matter of that field, and were supplemented with other technical conceptions to provide a language adequate for theory.

 PETER THE GREAT MEMORIAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
From 1682 to 1689, under the regency of his half sister Sophia Alekseyevna, Peter shared the throne with his older half brother Ivan V, but in 1689 Peter's partisans at court overthrew Sophia and installed him as sole authority (formally, Ivan continued to reign until his death).
He introduced such internal reforms as abolition of the power of the boyars, or aristocrats, and the subordination of those nobles and of the church to the throne; the encouragement of industry, trade, and education; and the reorganization of the administrative apparatus of the state to make it more modern and efficient.
His police-state philosophy was based on the conviction that, just as he spent his life unceasingly in service for the state, so his subjects, whose welfare was his object, should discharge their obligation to the state.
