試論方法論原則之層次系統——以修辭與章法為考察範圍

The Layered System of Methodological Principles–A Study of Rhetoric and the Organization of Writing

方法論原則雖是就個別而言，卻可因由不同或相類之方法論原則，造成層次，而匯為一個系統。爲此，特試以修辭與章法為例，先鎖定「二元互動（對比、調和）」（第一層）、「移位、轉位、包孕」（第二層）等兩層方法論原則，依序探討其關係，然後藉「多二一（0）螺旋結構（含『秩序、變化、聯貫、統一』）」（第三層）加以統合，凸顯出修辭與章法之方法論系統，以概見「方法論原則之層次系統」建構之重要於一斑。

Single methodological principle can be integrated into a layered system that is grouped by similar or different elements. This article takes rhetoric and the organization of writing as examples, to define three layers of methodological principles. The first layer is a kind of “dualistic interaction” (i.e., contrast vs. harmony). The second is a process of “shift, transfer and conceiveness”. And the third is formed by a “multiple, binary and single (zero)” spiral structure which contains “order, variation, coherence and unity”. In conclusion, the methodology of rhetoric and the organization of writing is the foundation to construct the layered system of methodological principles.
