The ultimate goal in Sasang Constitutional Medicine is a healthy life. But there are innate differences in the physical organ structural schemes between the constitutional types which give rise to the differences in physiological and pathological conditions in different constitutional types. Lee Ja-ma(1837-1900) delved deeply into the pathogenic factors, pathological developments, and the prevention and treatment of disease that differ for each constitutional type. Most people who first became interested in constitutional medicine want to know what type of constitution they have and how they can live a healthy life most compatible with their constitutional type. A century has passed since his demise, and his contributions to the society are still substantial and valid in practical lives studying and applying his anthropological value and the sasang constitutional medical theories would endow us a healthier lifestyle. I hope this book will inspire people to learn more about Sasang Constitutional Medicine and help it become a more valued asset in Korean Medicine. ‘체질의학’은 의학적으로 건강한 인간을 추구하는 것이 목적이다. 그러나 인간에게는 장부대소의 차이가 있어 체질별로 각기 다른 생리와 병리과정이 있음을 제기하였다. 따라서 동무공은 의학적 문제를 제기함으로써 체질별 질병원인, 질병과정, 질병치료, 질병예방에 대하여 구체적으로 해결방안을 제시하였다. 보통 사상의학에 관심을 갖게 되는 것은 ‘자신의 체질이 무엇일까?’ ‘어떻게 하면 체질을 개선하여 건강하게 살 수 있을까?’라는 궁금증 때문일 것이다. 동무공이 떠난 지 100여 년이 지난 지금, 그의 영향은 우리 사회에 깊이 관여하고 있다. 따라서 그의 학문인 ‘인간학’과 ‘체질의학’을 이해하고, 실제생활에 응용하여 건강한 삶을 영위할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 많은 사람이 이 책을 통하여 사상의학에 쉽게 접근하고 국민의학, 나아가 한국한의학으로서 자리매김하는 데 초석이 되었으면 한다.
