- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無(wú)各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等。） 甲：有人以中醫(yī)不能被西方人普遍接受為理由，否定中醫(yī)的科學(xué)性，我不贊同。西方人不能普遍接受中醫(yī)是因?yàn)樗麄儾焕斫庵袊?guó)的傳統(tǒng)文化。 乙：世界上有不同的文化，但科學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是相同的?？茖W(xué)研究的對(duì)象是普適的自然規(guī)律，因此，科學(xué)沒(méi)有國(guó)界，科學(xué)的發(fā)展不受民族或文化因素的影響。將中醫(yī)的科學(xué)地位不為西方科學(xué)界認(rèn)可歸咎于西方人不了解中國(guó)文化是荒唐的。 甲：“科學(xué)無(wú)國(guó)界”是一個(gè)廣為流傳的謬誤。如果科學(xué)真的無(wú)國(guó)界，為什么外國(guó)制藥公司會(huì)訴訟中國(guó)企業(yè)侵犯其知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)？ 乙：從科學(xué)角度看，現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)以生物學(xué)為基礎(chǔ)，而生物學(xué)又建立在物理、化學(xué)等學(xué)科的基礎(chǔ)之上。但中醫(yī)的發(fā)展不以這些學(xué)科為基礎(chǔ)。因此，它與科學(xué)不兼容，這樣的東西只能是偽科學(xué)。 甲：中醫(yī)有幾千年的歷史了，治好了那么多人，怎么可能是偽科學(xué)呢？人們?yōu)槭裁闯缟锌茖W(xué)？是因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)對(duì)人類有用。既然中醫(yī)對(duì)人類有用，憑什么說(shuō)它不是科學(xué)？西醫(yī)自然有長(zhǎng)于中醫(yī)的地方，但中醫(yī)同樣有長(zhǎng)于西醫(yī)之處。中醫(yī)體現(xiàn)了對(duì)人體完整系統(tǒng)的把握，強(qiáng)調(diào)整體觀念，而系統(tǒng)思維，就是西醫(yī)所欠缺的。 乙：我去醫(yī)院看西醫(yī)，人家用現(xiàn)代科技手段從頭到腳給我檢查一遍，怎么能說(shuō)沒(méi)有整體觀念、系統(tǒng)思維呢？中醫(yī)在中國(guó)居于主導(dǎo)地位的時(shí)候，中國(guó)人的平均壽命在古代和近代都只有三十歲左右?，F(xiàn)代中國(guó)人平均壽命提高到七十歲左右，完全拜現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)所賜。
