心智研究:跨学科的攻坚

Study on the Mind: Cracking a Multidisciplinary Research Difficulty

心智是多个学科共同的研究对象,对心智的研究应该进行跨学科的攻坚。哲学长于思辨,它能够提出有意义的问题并对各种资料进行综合。认知神经科学有助于我们直接地把握心智,而不是像以往那样用某种隐喻来间接把握。同时我们还要重视心智与环境的交互作用的研究。

In the endeavor to study a complex phenomenon such as human mind which should be the research object of several disciplines, we may make parallel uses all valid approaches which can include empirical, theoretical, and synthetic studies. Especially we should study mind in a multidisciplinary way. Philosophy is good at critics. It can provide some meaningful questions and synthesize kinds of materials. Cognitive neuron science can help us directly hold mind instead of studying mind with some metaphors. At the same time we should pay more attention to the study on the interaction between mind and environment.
