针灸学科知识的构成与流动——从几个认识误区谈起

Constitution and flow of knowledge in acupuncture-moxibustion discipline from three debatable questions

从"针灸学博士可以不会看病吗""不以中医理论为基础的针灸属于针灸吗""没有学习针灸的学者不足以谈论针灸吗"3个常见的认识误区谈起,讨论针灸学科知识的构成与流动。认为针灸学科的知识分为内核与外围两部分,内核是针灸实践与理论,构成了针灸学术知识体系,外围知识主要来自于交叉学科,内核与外围知识共同构成了针灸学科知识系统。无论内外,知识都是在时间、空间与人群中流动的。

The paper studied the constitution and flow of knowledge in acupuncture-moxibustion discipline based on three questions.(1) Can a doctor of acupuncture-moxibustion be incapable of patient treatment?(2) Can acupuncture-moxibustion practice without the theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) be recognized as an authentic acupuncture?(3) Are scholars who had not learned acupuncture-moxibustion incompetent in making any acupuncture-related remarks? The knowledge of acupuncture-moxibustion discipline can be divided into two parts, its core and periphery. The core is the theory and practice of acupuncture and moxibustion, witch constitutes the academic knowledge system of acupuncture and moxibustion, while the periphery absorbs interdisciplinary intellectual sources, and they commonly constitute the knowledge system of acupuncture-moxibustion discipline and the knowledge flows through time, space, and the crowd regardless of its core or periphery.
