地质力学与系统论——纪念李四光教授诞辰100周年

GEOMECHANICS AND SYSTEM THEORY-IN MEMORY OF THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF LI SIGUANG'S BIRTHDAY

系统论被国内外学术论坛推崇为一种“新兴”的科学方法论,本文就系统科学的主要理论与方法与地质力学进行了对比,通过对地质力学中的基本理论与方法(构造体系理论、级序理论、复合理论、构造型式与模拟、体系结构与功能等)的分析与对比,发现两者具有高度的一致性。然而,这些理论与方法,李四光教授早在20年代就已提出,几乎与贝塔朗菲同时期提出。这一重要历史事实应引起人们足够的重视,它不仅可丰富一般系统论的内容,也涉及到如何全面地撰写系统论的发展史,特别是它涉及到构造地质的发展方向,更应引起中国地质学家的正视。

The system theory is considered as a new methodology of science. Contrasting the geomechanics with the system theory, we find that they are possessed of highly the same view in a series of theories and methods. Five questions of the geomechanics and the system theory are discussed in this paper, they are: 1. tectonic system theory; 2. hierarchic order of tectonic systems; 3. compounding of tectonic systems; 4. modelling and simulation of tectonic types; 5. texture and function of tectonic systems. Those theories and methods of geomechanics were advanced by prof. Li Siguang early in 1920s.Almost at the same time, Bertalunffy.L.V.put forwards the system theory. This important fact of the history must be taken seriously by us. That is because it may not only enrich the contents of general system theory, but also involve in writing the history of general system theory comprehensively. We should, of course, pay more attention to it, for it closely relates to the development of the structural geology.
