穿越复杂性丛林——复杂性研究的四种理论基点及其哲学反思

Through the "Complexity Jungle" ——Four Fundamental Theoretical Pivots of Complexity Study and the Philosophical Reflection

复杂性研究角度极多,彼此研究界限高度交叉却又互不相同,犹如一个"复杂性丛林"。我们试图从哲学视野把当代复杂性理论纳入四种较为基本的理论基点("客体—复杂性"、"认识—复杂性"、"方法—复杂性"和"作为不确定性的复杂性")之中,探讨建构从宏观层面切入并能更好理解复杂性的"范畴框架"的可能,以尽快走出复杂性丛林,进入更广阔的复杂性探索领域。

There exist various studying perspectives highly overlapping and different from one another in complexity study, which can be seen as a 'complexity jungle'. This thesis sums up most of contemporary complexity theories into four fundamental pivots ('complexity of object', 'complexity of cognition', 'complexity of method', 'complexity as uncertainty') from a philosophical view and tries to construct a 'categorical framework' with which the complexity can be understood better in a macro level in order to walk out of the 'complexity jungle' as soon as possible and into a broader field of complexity exploration.
