摘　　要：关于中医前途的讨论,基于对中医本质和中西医关系的认识之上。中医的概念基础在于其形神身体观、失衡疾病观、协调治疗观、摄食平衡养生观以及天时对应生命活动观。在中西医关系问题上,存在着中医终将融入现代西医,以及中西医不可通约或仅具弱不可通约性三种观点。相应地,在中医现代化问题上,存在着将中医改造成现代西方医学,以及保留中医的概念基础借助现代科学将其现代化,分为两种不同的看法。文章比较科学哲学、大众文化、社会学以及人类学用于研究中医,为我们描述和理解中医提供了新的进路。The discussion on the future of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is based on the understanding of the conceptual basis of TCM and the relation between TCM and modern Western medicine. The conceptual basis of TCM is manifested in its understanding of human body as a combination of both physical and spiritual components, dis- ease as disturbance of the balances inside human body, treatment as a process of coordination of various elements of human body, health maintenance by daily diet, and life process as reflection of temporal rhythms in natural world. Regarding to the relationship between TCM and Western medicine, some hold that TCM could be integrated into Western medicine;some hold that TCM and modern Western medicine are categorically incommensurable systems; and some hold that TCM and modern Western medicine are weakly incommensurable. Accordingly, there are two ap- proaches to the modernization of TCM -- transforming TCM into modern Western medicine, and modernizing TCM with the help of modern science while retaining TCM＇ s conceptual basis. The integration of comparative philosophy of science, mass cuhure, sociology and anthropology into the research on TCM will offer new approaches to descri- bing and understanding TCM.
