浅析形气神三位一体生命观的意识论与现代心理学意识论的异同

Analysis on the similarities and differences of consciousness between body-qi-spirit trinity life concept in traditional Chinese medicine and modern psychology

文章较为系统地梳理了中医学"形气神三位一体生命观"和现代心理学中"生理-心理一体生命观"的相关内容,探究二者对意识认识的异同。首先,从人体生命观、意识的特性及调控意识的方法3个方面分析了二者对意识认识的相似性:二者均认为意识是人体生命的重要组成部分,对人体的身心健康有重要的调控作用;二者均认为意识具有流动性和纯净性;二者均使用内求法调控意识。其次,从意识的生物学基础,及意识与生命体链接的媒介分析了二者的差异:前者认为主要的生物学基础主要是脏腑,并认为气是联系形神的媒介;而后者的生物学基础为脑和神经。最后,思考二者相似性和不同之处,以期为生命科学领域研究探索意识规律提供思路和依据。

This paper systematically sort out the similarities and differences of consciousness between ‘body-qi-spirit trinity life concept’ in traditional Chinese medicine and ‘physiology-psychology life concept’ in modern psychology. Firstly, The similarities of these two consciousnesses are analysed from three aspects, including: life concept view, consciousness ‘feature and the method to regulate consciousness.
