Chapter 4 analyses Juan de Cárdenas’s Problemas y secretos maravillosos de las Indias in the context of the negative critiques it offered of two contemporaries who had written about New World medicine without leaving Spain: Nicolás Monardes and Oliva Sabuco. Cárdenas found fault with both Monardes's Historia medicinal (1565) and Sabuco's Nveva filosofia de la naturaleza del hombre (1587) identifying flaws in the cause-and-effect reasoning espoused by each source and providing examples that arrived at different results. But Cárdenas’s medical challenge, articulated on scientific principle, belied a growing unease about the marginal status conferred to locally published scholarly efforts in the larger global stage of scientific enquiry; Monardes was keenly interested in New World bezoars especially whereas Sabuco’s ideas on digestion rested on her observations of the quick effects of ingesting coca leaves from Peru. By adopting an oppositional model of refutation that anchored itself on a geographically and culturally determined group identity, Cárdenas’s writing began mounting a challenge to the unequal distribution of epistemological authority in transatlantic colonial hierarchies.
第四章分析了胡安·德Cárdenas的《印第安人的秘密问题》(Problemas y secretos maravillosos de las Indias),这是在它提供的两个同时代人的负面批评的背景下进行的,他们在没有离开西班牙的情况下写了关于新世界医学的文章:Nicolás Monardes和Oliva Sabuco。Cárdenas发现了Monardes的《医学史》(1565)和Sabuco的《人类自然史》(1587)的错误,发现了每个来源所支持的因果推理中的缺陷,并提供了得出不同结果的例子。但是Cárdenas在科学原理上提出的医学挑战,掩盖了人们对在更大的全球科学探索舞台上,本地出版的学术成果被赋予边缘地位的日益不安;Monardes对新大陆的牛黄非常感兴趣,而Sabuco关于消化的想法是基于她对从秘鲁摄取古柯叶的快速效果的观察。通过采用一种以地理和文化决定的群体身份为基础的对立反驳模式,Cárdenas的写作开始对跨大西洋殖民地等级制度中认识论权威的不平等分配提出挑战。
