气的医学层次哲学性认识的唯物观

Qi as a materialist concept on the level of medical philosophy

从医学层次哲学性认识的唯物观对气和气的具体形态进行了区分,并阐述了气的物质性和多样性。 物质性指它的客观实在性,是与人密切相联系的各种事物或现象的总和;多样性是指各种具体物质形态都具 有各自特殊的质的规定性。在假定两个基本概念“象”、“象集”的基础上,结合中西医的认识,分别从宏观、微 观、生理(正常)、病理(异常)诸角度将气的具体形态作了初步阐述,并指出寻找气的不同侧面或层次的具体 形态,特别是其在微观层次上相应的存在形式,将有助于把中医辨证推向微观化。

This paper has made a distinction between the materialist concept of qi on the medical philosophical level and its substantial existence, and illustrated the materiality and multiplicity of qi.Materiality refers to the objective reality, a summation of various things or phenomena related to human beings; while multiplicity refers to diversity of specific substances, each holding its individual essence.Based on two essential conceptions “xiang” and “xiangji”, and combining the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, this paper has also made a preliminary study on the substantial existence of qi at macro- and micro-levels, and on physiological （normal） and pathological （abnormal） aspects. It is the author＇s argument that studies of the substantial existence of q i from different aspects, micro-dimension in particular, will push the syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine to a more subtle sphere.
