数学筹划与世界的图像化--评析海德格尔的反科学思想

Mathematical Planning and World Image:Critique on Heidegger's Anti-science Thought

海德格尔对科学的批判是20世纪下半叶反科学思潮的重要思想资源。他认为现代科学区别于古代科学在于其对物的数学筹划,而数学筹划也标志着现代形而上学运动的本质,导致理性成为法庭,而世界沦为图像。海德格尔对现代自然科学的哲学分析多大而不当,如他以数学筹划刻画现代科学的本质,指责牛顿力学第一定律缺乏经验基础,否定牛顿力学相对于亚里士多德运动学的进步。此外,海德格尔还认为现代科学"不思想",而且科学的发展成了人类思想日趋没落的象征,从而表现出明显的反科学、反理性的蒙昧主义倾向。

Heidegger's critique of modern science was one of the most important thought resources of the anti-science movement in the latter half of the 20th century. Heidegger argued that modern science is different from the ancient science by its mathematical planning of things,which was also the essence of the modern metaphysical movement. Mathematical planning had two metaphysical results:reason turned into courtroom,and world became image. Most of Heidegger's critique on science is empty and improper,for example,he argued that Newton's first law lacks experience foundation,and Newtonian kinematics make no progress than Aristotlelian kinematics. He criticized modern science for its lack of thinking,and regarded the development of modern science as the symbol of degeneration of modern thought.
