The purpose of this article is to establish a metatheoretical framework for constructing a philosophy of chiropractic by using Integral Theory and Integral Methodological Pluralism. This is the first in a series of 3 articles.
The philosophy of chiropractic has not thrived as a philosophic discipline for multiple reasons. Most notably, these include disparate personal and cultural worldviews within the profession, a historical approach to chiropractic's roots, and an undeveloped framework for exploring philosophy from multiple perspectives. A framework is suggested to bridge divides and create a groundwork for a philosophical discipline using Integral Methodological Pluralism developed from Integral Theory. A review of the literature on the philosophy of chiropractic is mapped according to the 8 primordial perspectives of Integral Methodological Pluralism. It is argued that this approach to constructing a philosophy of chiropractic will bridge the historical divides and ensure a deep holism by pluralistically including every known approach to knowledge acquisition.
Integral Methodological Pluralism is a viable way to begin constructing a philosophy of chiropractic for the 21st century.
本文旨在通过运用整体理论和整体方法论多元主义，建立一个用于构建整脊疗法哲学的元理论框架。这是一系列三篇文章中的第一篇。
整脊疗法哲学未能作为一门哲学学科蓬勃发展，原因是多方面的。最显著的包括该行业内不同的个人和文化世界观、对整脊疗法根源的历史研究方法，以及一个未充分发展的从多个视角探索哲学的框架。本文提出了一个框架，以弥合分歧，并利用从整体理论发展而来的整体方法论多元主义为哲学学科奠定基础。根据整体方法论多元主义的8个基本视角，对整脊疗法哲学的文献综述进行了梳理。有人认为，这种构建整脊疗法哲学的方法将弥合历史分歧，并通过多元地纳入每一种已知的知识获取方法来确保深度整体论。
整体方法论多元主义是为21世纪构建整脊疗法哲学的一种可行方法。
