摘要
隐喻,是自然科学不可或缺的思维方式与语言表达手段。当科学作为一种人类活动,而不是作为终极真理的贮藏室时,隐喻的想象作用和创造作用就不仅仅是诗歌的特征,也是科学的特征。在自然科学的历史中,隐喻经历了由修辞学到方法论的功能延伸,表现出从镜像到认知的强大效力。
Metaphor is an indispensable thinking mode and linguistic expression.When science is be treated as a movement of human being,instead of a repository of ultimate truth,both imaginative and creative function of the metaphor is not more a token of the poesy than a characteristic of the science.In the history of the natural science,the metaphor has experienced its function from the rhetoric to the methodology,showing the distinct potencies of mirror as well as the cognition.
