地理信息科学的时空哲学思考

Spatiotemporal Philosophical Thought to Geographical Information Science

哲学对具体科学有指导作用。从哲学角度,分析了哲学中的时空观,包括:哲学理论体系的时空界限、时空普遍联系、时空范畴、社会时空、社会形态时空和时空本体,在地理信息科学产生与发展中的作用,揭示了地理信息科学发展中层次性与尺度性、复杂性与开放性、连续性与阶段性、时间与空间相统一的发展规律,以及地理信息科学社会实践性与时空本体性的特点,旨在对当前的科学研究有所启迪和帮助,进一步推动地理信息科学的发展。

Philosophy can guide specific science.Spatiotemporal theory in the philosophy,including spatiotemporal boundary of philosophically theoretical system,generally spatiotemporal contact,spatiotemporal scope,social time and space,socially formational time and space,spatiotemporal ontology,affects the appearance and production of Geographical Information Science in the viewpoint of philosophy.The development laws of the unifications,including between hierarchy and scalability,between complexity and openness,between continuity and phase,between time and space,are discussed.Also,the characteristics of social practicality and spatiotemporal ontology are analyzed.It gives us some inspiration to promote the scientific research and GIS development in the future.
