《内经》直觉思维探析

Exploring Intuitional Thinking in Emperor's Canon of Medicine

《内经》直觉思维是以直观物象、提取意象为基础,推衍被研究对象属性及其规律的思维形式,有取象比类和运数比类两种模式。它不同于科学抽象,是从器物之象体道,超验地把握最高的宇宙真理,并推衍及于人体,因而是《内经》的主要认知形式。把握这一思维形式,对于探索《内经》教学规律、掌握中医理论研究的发展趋势、提高中医临床疗效都具有重要的指导意义。

Intuitional thinking in Emperor's Canon of Medicine is a way of speculation based on intuitional perception of objects and abstraction of the perception, which is applied to investigation of the features of the objects and the laws of their change and development. Intuitional thinking consists of two modes, systematization of things according to their visible similarities and systematization of things according to their unmerical characteristics. Both modes differ from modern scientific abstraction; they begin with understanding of the laws of change and development of things on the basis of perception of their intuitional forms, and then, aim to master the ultimate truth of the universe, including the human body, by abstraction of the perception. Intuitional thinking is the main form of theorization in recognizing the objective world. A good command of this form of thinking is of great significance in exploring the laws of the teaching of the course of Emperor's Canon of Medicine, guiding the orientation of TCM theoretical research and improving the curative effect in TCM clinical practice.
