论复杂性研究对还原论的批判

Animadvert on Reductionism From the View of Complexity

复杂性科学的一个总特征是对传统还原论持批判态度,并且试图通过建立复杂性范式来超越沿用了数百年的还原论观点和方法。从贝塔朗菲经普里高津到现在的圣菲研究所的三代复杂性研究者都感受到了还原论的局限,都从批判还原论入手来提出、展开自己的新主张,都把超越还原论当作自己的首要任务。

The characteristic of complexity researches is the critical attitude to the traditional reductionism and tries to build a new paradigm to beyond the reductionism which used in hundreds years. The complexity researchers, from L. V. Bertalanffy, I. Prigogine to the fellows of Santa Fe Institute, have felt the limitations of the traditional reductionism, and put forward their new ideas through animadverting on it and exceed it as their chief task.
