从体质论分析上古东西方医学的异同及其成因

Analysis of the differences and resemblances between ancient east and west medicine based on constitution theory

文章通过对《黄帝内经》与《希波克拉底文集》体质论的比较研究,分析上古东西方医学的异同点,认为二者都注意到了天人间的紧密联系,具备不同程度的整体观,使用了司外揣内的思维方法,但二者在认识论、对待哲学的态度、方法论和思维模式等方面存在明显差异。产生这些差异的原因可能在于不同的社会结构、经济模式,及由此形成的文化、思维模式。

Based on the comparison of constitution theory between Inner Canon of Huangdi and Hippocrates Work, it found that both ancient east and west medicine had noticed the close relation between nature and human body, with the thought that the pathological changes of internal organs could be diagnosed by the external appearance of life, which represented the holism. But, there were obvious differences in epistemology, attitude to philosophy, methodology and thinking pattern. These differences may come from different social structure, economic pattern and culture thinking pattern based on certain social structure and economic pattern.
