大数据的本体论探讨

Exploration into the Ontology of Big Data

本文梳理了古希腊时期的毕达哥拉斯学派以及中国的《老子》和阴阳学派"万物源于数"的本体论思想,探讨了数学哲学中数本体思想的不同流派,以及现代科学中用数据对宇宙起源的诠释。认为虽然大数据本体论的焦点在于相关性和因果性,但是大数据实际上可以看成是"万物源于数"本体思想的回归。

All the three of the Pythagorean School of ancient Greece, Laozi and the Yinyang School of China hold that everything is from the number. This paper discusses different schools in the fi eld of philosophy of mathematics in terms of their ontological thought about number. Interpretation of the origin of the universe in modern science is dealt with in light of data. The author thinks that, although the ontology of big data focuses on the correlation and causation of things, the emergence of big data can in fact be viewed as the return of the ontological thought that everything is from the number.
