思辨研究法在中医领域的应用

Application of speculative organon in domain of traditional Chinese Medicine

通过分析思辨研究法的特点及其在中医研究中的应用现状,探讨思辨研究法在中医理论研究中的成果和误区,以及这些误区引发的一系列问题。思辨研究法对中医理论研究的发展起到巨大的推动作用,但仍存在4个问题:对思辨一词的滥用、在没有公理和共识的情况下使用思辨研究进一步造成概念的混淆、对思辨研究法的应用范围把握的不够准确、与定性研究法混淆。发现并理清以上4点,有助于在科研工作中正确选择研究方法,对中医教材的整理、中医理论研究、中医教育以及中医理论的发展都有积极的意义。

In order to summarize and discuss the current situation of speculative organon applied in theoretical research of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）, the article analyses the characteristics of speculative organon, application status, research results, misunderstanding and a series of problems caused by these misunderstanding in TCM theoretical research. Although speculative organon has played a huge role in promoting the development of TCM theoretical research, there are still four problems： abuse of speculation; absence of justice and consensus inducing concept confusion; inaccurate grasp in applied range of speculative organon; and confusion with qualitative research method. It is conductive to choose correct research methods in scientific work, and it also has a positive significance for collating TCM textbooks, studying on TCM theory, TCM education and TCM theory development.
