论内丹学体系的逻辑建构

The Logical Construction of Inner Alchemic Study:Its Theoretical System

内丹学是中国古代历史悠久的生命哲学,也是道教中占有重要地位的修道理论。其理论的核心是:何以通过内丹修炼能够超越个体生命限度,达成长生,以及如何通过内丹修炼达成长生的问题。关于内丹学理论,近年来已经有很多的专家学者从不同角度作出了大量卓有成效的研究,但在内丹学理论体系的逻辑建构方面犹有所未及者。因此,从思辨逻辑的视角来考察钟吕系金丹派经由对历史上长生众术的批判、内丹学轴心范畴和逻辑起点范畴的确立以及内丹学体系的自我论证四个环节建构内丹学理论体系的过程具有重要的理论价值。

Inner alchemic study is a life philosophy in Chinese ancient times, which plays the important role in Taoism. Its core issue is the question about why people can surmount the individual life limits and how to achieve the eternal lives through inner alchemic exercise. From the different points of view many experts and scholars have already made a great deal of research and obtained the outstanding results of inner alchemic study in recent years. But the logical construction of the theoretical system of inner alchemic study still has not been studied thoroughly. By thinking rationally and logically, the paper investigates the process of Zhong-Lv Alchemy sect constructing the theoretical system of inner alchemic study and indicates that the process might include four sectors： the criticism of previous theories of eternal lives in history, category definition of the core domain and the logical starting point of inner alchemic study, as well as self-demonstration of the theoretical system of inner alchemic study.
