臺灣本土心理學運動最重要的突破，是發展出一套知識論策略，以西方的科學哲學為基礎，使用「多重哲學典範」，建構含攝文化的理論，可以把東方「儒、釋、道」文化傳統中的智慧，轉化成為客觀知識，一方面開啟一個新的領域，讓未來學者不僅可以繼續建構理論，而且可以從事實徵研究；另一方面也可以幫助實務工作者有客觀的理論依據，不僅可以在華人社會中從事心理治療及諮商輔導工作，而且可以將東方的修養心理學推廣到全世界。本書收錄曾經刊載在《心理學前衍》網路期刊上的十一篇論文，具體地說明了此一研究取向。
The most important breakthrough of indigenization movement of psychology in Taiwan is the development of an epistemological strategy for the construction of culture-inclusive theories by multiple philosophical paradigms of Western philosophy of science which may transform the wisdom of cultural heritage in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism into objective knowledge. The breakthrough has initiated a new field of research for the followers to construct more culture-inclusive theories and to conduct empirical research on the one hand; on the other hand, it may provide objective theoretical ground for practitioners to do psychotherapy and counseling not only in Chinese society, but also to promote the psychology of self-cultivation to the whole world. The book collects 11 articles which had been published in the journal of Frontiers in Psychology for the sake of demonstrating this new orientation of research.
