摘要
思维是否依托语言的争论,这里找到了调和统一的出口,即不要对语言做狭义的理解.广义的语言,除语言、文字还包括图像、符号、数字、代码等等,他们都是信息传递的工具;语言和文字是文明的基石,文字比语言更重要.人类现代文明始于文字,文字出现以前,人类仅靠语言交流.信息的传播和积累只在个体间进行,信息量的累积极其有限,思维功能只能拥挤在语言这个狭窄的通道上.文字的发明和学习,不仅是交流工具更新扩大了信息积累和传播,而且对思维功能的发育、训练、强化至为重要,使大脑思维找到了正确的表达方式.思维跃上了宽阔的高速路.两种思维类型,逻辑思维和形象思维分属人的左脑和右脑;时间和空间、联想和想象的功能也分别由左脑和右脑负责.因此,科学和艺术也分别在左脑和右脑中找到源头.这种看似平衡和对称的公平分配,却由中国文字的图像美学特质而打破,似乎左脑和右脑既分工又合作协调的.思维不止上述两种类型,沉思冥想就是带有神秘色彩、远离科学分析的一种,使意识深潜趋向于无意识状态,与客观对象同质而认同.
In this paper,there is not any narrow definition to the language,but a harmony and unitive verdict for the argument whether the thinking relies on the language.General senses of language including characters,images,symbols,figures,codes and etc.,are all the tools for transinformation.Language and characters are the foundation of civilization.Characters are more important than language and human civilization came with characters.Before the advent of characters,communication among the human depended on the language,the transmission and accumulation of information only took place between individuals,so the information content had been small in quantity and the function of thinking was limited in the congested channel of language.The invention of characters not only updated the communication tools to scale up the transmission and accumulation,but also gave the proper way to develop,train and strengthen the function of thinking of brain.Logic thinking and imaginalthinking respectively belongs to left and right brain,sense of time and space,or association and imagination are all in like wise.So the science and the art respectively originate from the left and right brain too.That seems a fair and balanced arrangement,but the idiosyncrasy of graphic aesthetics in Chinese characters breaks it and shows that there is cooperation between the left and right brain.The types of thinking are more than the above two.Meditation is another that is full of mystery flavour and out of scientific analysis.In the meditation,the consciousness submergence deep to the nothing and its nature becomes same with the objects.
