This article examines the work of the German-Peruvian physician Max Kuczynski/Máxime Kuczynski-Godard (Berlin 1890-Lima 1967) in rural areas of Central Asia (1924-26) and Peru (1938-48). The main focus of the text is on the scientific approach behind the specific interest of this pathologist in disease and health issues among native populations. Kuczynski's theoretical considerations are analyzed in the context of the wide controversies within the German medical community around a "crisis in medicine" when he was professor at Berlin University during the interwar years. Accordingly, his determination to leave the laboratory and to shift research and healthcare practice closer to rural populations proves to be the expression of profound epistemological and ethical considerations.
本文考察了德裔秘鲁医生马克斯·库钦斯基/马克西姆·库钦斯基 - 戈达尔（1890年生于柏林，1967年卒于利马）于1924年至1926年在中亚农村地区以及1938年至1948年在秘鲁开展的工作。文本的主要关注点在于这位病理学家对当地人群疾病与健康问题的特殊兴趣背后的科学方法。在两次世界大战之间的时期，库钦斯基在柏林大学担任教授，当时德国医学界围绕“医学危机”展开了广泛争论，在此背景下，他的理论思考得到了分析。相应地，他决定离开实验室，将研究和医疗实践转向更贴近农村人群，这被证明是深刻的认识论和伦理学考量的体现。
