“气合而有形,因变以正名”的现象学解释

An Phenomenological Explanation of "Qi is Syncretic and Tangible, and is Justified by Changes in Name"

气是中医学的核心概念,其主流观点体现了自然态度,通过介绍现象学态度和意向性结构,给出“气合而有形,因变以正名”的现象学解释:“因变”是材料及其显现方式发生了变化,意向相关项及其组成部分也必然会发生相应改变;“正名”是这些变化最终会导致旧有的外在的现实对象的消失和新的对象和新的意义的出现;“有形”是“正名”,是立义,是意向对象的呈现;“合”为“变”之后,因为有“变”化,有了多样性,才会有“合”的立义,完成同一性,同时交织地“合”而立义出“有形”之象。由此,提出气是现象学中的材料、质料或质素的观点。

Qi is the core concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The mainstream view of Qi embodies the naturalistic attitude. By introducing the phenomenological attitude and intentionality structure, this paper provides a phenomenological explanation of "Qi is syncretic and tangible, and is justified by changes in name". Variation means that the material and its manifestation mode have changed, and the intentional components will inevitably change. Rectification is that these changes will eventually lead to the disappearance of the old external objects as well as the emergence of new objects and new meanings. Tangible is the presentation of the intended object, while combination is interwoven to create tangible image. Therefore, the view that Qi is "hyle" is put forward.
