摘要:

根据美国哲学家托马斯·库恩有关范式和科学革命的理论,中医与西医之间内蕴的符号系统与价值标准完全不同,属于相互竞争的两个不同“范式”,库恩认为不同范式之间存在着“不可通约性”,在科学革命的过程中新出现的理论会推翻和取代旧理论。文章从真理一元性和多样性的理论观点出发,认为对于同一研究对象的真理性认识只有一个,但真理的表现形式具有多样性。中西医是对于人类健康和疾病认识的不同呈现,研究对象的同一性奠定了中西医可通约的理论基础。另一方面,我国在探索中西医结合课程设置和专业人才培养的过程中取得的丰硕成果,也从实践中证实了中西医之间存在显著的可通约性。

关键词: 中西医结合, 可通约性, 范式

Abstract:

According to the theory of paradigms and scientific revolutions by American philosopher Thomas Kuhn, the intrinsic symbolic systems and value standards of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine are completely different, representing two competing “paradigms”. Kuhn argues that there is “incommensurability” between different paradigms, where in the process of scientific revolutions, new theories overthrow and replace old ones. From the theoretical perspective of the unity and diversity of truth, while there is only one truthful understanding of a particular research object, the manifestations of truth can be diverse. Traditional Chinese and Western medicine are different expressions of the understanding of human health and diseases. The identical nature of the research objects lays the theoretical foundation for the commensurability of TCM and Western medicine. Furthermore, the fruitful achievements achieved by China in the process of exploring the curriculum and professional personnel training for the integration of Chinese and Western medicine have also confirmed in practice that there is a significant commensurability between TCM and Western medicine.

Key words: integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, commensurability, paradigm
