ABSTRACT

Objective The purpose of this study is to reveal the universal truthfulness of Sasang Constitutional Medicine from the perspective of the perennial philosophy and the integral psychology. Methods Aldous Huxley's The perennial philosophy and Ken Wilber's Literature of integral psychology such as A Brief History of Everything was compared with Gyukchigo(格致藁)』 and 『Donguisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)』. Also investigated the literature of various countries related to constitution(temperament). Results and Conclusions 1. Historically, there are various constitutional theories, but the constitution that best corresponds to the constitution in the perennial philosophy of Aldous Huxley is Sasang Constitutional Medicine. 2. The Sasang theory(四象說) and Four element structure(四元構造) of Sasang Constitutional Medicine was confirmed to be the same as AQAL(all quadrants & all levels) of Ken Wilber. 3. The Sasang theory(Four element structure) of Sasang Constitutional Medicine was presented ahead of Ken Wilber's AQAL(all quadrants & all levels), therefore, Sasang Constitutional Medicine has universal truthfulness.
