辩“子非鱼,安知鱼之乐?”——用进化生物经济学反击不可知论

A Debate on "You are not a fish,how could you possibly know the pleasures enjoyed by fish?" ——A critique of solipsism with evolutionary bioeconomics

庄子与惠子关于"子非鱼,安知鱼之乐?"的濠梁之辩,古今论者多数认为庄子辩胜了。实际上庄子是诡辩。用进化生物经济学反击不可知论,不但给濠梁之辩的胜负作出了与历来多数学者不同的判断,或胜负判断同样而依据不同,而且超越了中西方学界在可知与不可知论之间的僵持。通过证明所有具有机动性的物种都是具有意识的和所有具有意识的物种都是有苦乐感受的等命题,可以帮助评价濠梁之辩。

On the debate between Zhuangzi and Huizi about ＂You are not a fish, how could you possibly know the pleasures enjoyed by fish ？＂, the majority of commentators at ancient and modern times hold that Zhuangzi won the de- bate. As a matter of fact, the technique Zhuangzi used is a sophist one. However, the author, instead of supporting sol- ipsism, attacks it with evolutionary bioeconomics. This not only draws a judgment different from the majority of scholars about the outcome of the Haoliang Debate, or one with the same judgment on victory and defeat but on a different basis, but also goes beyond the impasse of Chinese and Western scholars between the knowability doctrine and solipsism. From the proofs that all plastic species are conscious and all conscious species are affective sentients, the Haoliang Debate may be better evaluated.
