五行醫學價值性的反思

當今實證主義典範做為科學研究的主流，五行醫學理論受到質疑。然而伊朗藏紅花的使用方式、莫札特效應卻反映五行醫學的要素在非五行文化圈的國家，仍有吻合之處。因此本文企圖了解五行醫學在當今是否有其價值。本文透過辯證法，獲得了五行醫學的優缺點，五行醫學具有多元性，且貼近於日常生活，但是其建構的理論，不具有絕對性而無法被全世界普遍認同。因此當今面對五行醫學可採行的態度與方法，包含先界定五行的鐘與雲的屬性、採行多元研究法、調整輔助假設、守經達權、作為養生的參考依據。

Nowadays, the model of positivism is regarded as the mainstream of scientific research, the medicine in five elements causes is being questioned. However, the use of saffron in Iran and the Mozart effect reflect that some elements of the Five Elements Medicine coincide with non-Five Elements cultural circle. Therefore, this article attempts to seek for the value of the Five Elements Medicine today. Through dialectics, this article has obtained the advantages and disadvantages of the Five Elements Medicine. The Five Elements Medicine is pluralistic and close to daily life, but the theory of its construction is not absolute, it cannot be universally recognized. For these reasons, we must adopt the attitude and the methods of the research towards the Five Elements Medicine, including: defining the attributes of clouds and clocks of the five elements; adopting multiple research methods; adjusting the auxiliary hypothesis of five elements medicine; maintaining principles with flexibility, treating five elements as the approach of health preserving.
