When evidence-based medicine (EBM) became established, its dominant rhetoric was empiricist, in spite of rationalist elements in its practice. Exploring some of the key statements about EBM down the years, the paper examines the tensions between empiricism and rationalism and argues for a rationalist turn in EBM to help to develop the next generation of scholarship in the field.
当循证医学（EBM）确立之时，尽管其实践中存在理性主义元素，但其主导性的言辞却是经验主义的。通过探究多年来关于循证医学的一些关键论述，本文审视了经验主义与理性主义之间的紧张关系，并主张循证医学应转向理性主义，以助力该领域下一代学术研究的发展。
