脑科学、进化生物学与演化经济学

Brain Science,Evolutionary Biology and Evolutionary Economics

奉行"累积因果"原则的演化经济学从未放弃向自然科学的学习与借鉴,这种开放式的态度也正是它活力的源泉之一。近年来,脑科学、进化生物学等自然科学领域所取得的一些进展,为演化经济学解释合作、交换和分工以及它们与人类认知进化的关系等问题开辟了新的思路。这些领域的研究成果表明,人类行为、理性能力与社会进化、生物进化之间存在着密切的互动关系:人类认知是伴随人类进化过程而不断进化的产物;由于人类认知改变而导致的社会变化,反过来也会影响人类本身的进化。由于拓展了自己的时间概念,演化经济学具有了一种历史的解释力和人文关怀精神。

Under the principle of cumulative causation, evolutionary economic has never given up learning from natural science, and this open attitude is one of the sources of its vitality. In recent years, the development of the brain science and evolutionary biology provide a new perspective for evolutionary economics to explain cooperation, commercial exchange, the division and the evolution of human cognition. These domains research shows there is a close relationship between human behavior and cognitive capabillty with social evolution as well as biological evolution, human cognitive capability is a cumulative production of evolution process. In turn, the change of human social which caused by the change of cognitive capability also influences the evolution of human being. Because of the expanding of the concept of time, evolutionary economic obtains an interpretative competence and a kind of humanism.
