Abstract

Homeopathy is founded on 'holistic' and 'vitalistic' paradigms, which may be interpreted--at least in part--in terms of a framework provided by the theory of dynamic systems and of complexity. The conceptual models and some experimental findings from complexity science may support the paradoxical claims of similia principle and of dilution/dynamization effects. It is argued that better appreciation of three main properties of complex systems: non-linearity, self-organization, and dynamicity, will not only add to our basic understanding of homeopathic phenomena but also illuminate new directions for experimental investigations and therapeutic settings.

摘要

顺势疗法建立在“整体论”和“活力论”范式之上，至少在一定程度上，可以根据动态系统理论和复杂性理论提供的框架来进行解释。复杂性科学的概念模型和一些实验结果可能支持顺势疗法相似性原则及稀释/增效效应的矛盾主张。有人认为，更好地理解复杂系统的三个主要特性：非线性、自组织和动态性，不仅会增进我们对顺势疗法现象的基本理解，还会为实验研究和治疗设置指明新的方向。
