摘要
20世纪80年代兴起的混沌理论,给我们这个被确定论统治数百年的世界带来了巨大的冲击,它自身具有的奇怪吸引子、对初始值的极度敏感性和自相似性等特征给医学、自然和经济领域带来了冲击和变革,但同时也存在着混沌等于复杂、随机是内在的以及混沌是不可控制的、混沌是万能的误解。从方法论上说,混沌是一个能塑造我们人类未来的潜力无限的领域。
The chaos theory rose in 1980s, which has given a tremendous impact to our world ruled for centuries by deterministic theories. Its characteristics of strange attractor, great sensitivity to initial value and self-similarity causes impact and transformation to medical science, natural science and economic field, but there are also misunderstandings to the effect that chaos equals to complexity, random is internal, chaos is uncontrollable, and chaos is almighty etc. From the methodological point of view, chaos opens an field of unlimited potentials which can shape human＇ s future.
