丹道思想乃是中國文化裡的一個重要成分，這當然是無可疑的，可是這並不代表丹道思想本身真能成爲一個有意義的哲學課題，這主要是因爲丹道思想本身預設了某種一元的世界觀，而這種世界觀幾乎和現在的任何哲學所預設的世界觀相衝突的緣故。本文即旨在指出這一衝突所在，並試圖通過今天對丹道的科學研究，來打開一扇可能的窗口，以爲丹道思想的哲學詮釋保留一些機會－雖然這機會還實在太遙遠也太渺茫了。

There has been no doubt that Dan Tao ideology is a very important component of the Chinese culture, but this does not mean that Dan Tao itself can become a meaningful topic for philosophic studies. The main reason is because Dan Tao has preset a certain mono-world view, and this world view apparently, has a direct confrontation with the philosophical world view nowadays. This essay is explaining the conflicts between the two factors and all the struggles it has been through in order to create a new opportunity for Dan Tao's ideology of philosophy. And yet, this opportunity still seems far from being accomplished.
