《三体》与宇宙社会学视野下的三个不可能性

The Three-Body Problem and the Three Impossibilities from the Vision of Cosmic Sociology

刘慈欣在小说《三体》中对宇宙社会学的建构,本质上显示了人类对未来的信念。小说将文明、技术和伦理三原则置于宇宙维度下考察,并在信任不可能、傲慢不可以、永恒不可求的宇宙真相上实现逻辑自洽。刘慈欣在向我们展示其宏大、冷漠的宇宙社会学规则的基础上,发出了善待人性、回归自然的诉求,体现了人类思想的矛盾性和复杂性。刘慈欣对宇宙社会学的思考,使《三体》超越了传统小说情节取胜的套路,赋予其思辨的色彩,这也是《三体》成为中国科幻小说新标杆的意义所在。以《三体》为代表的"新生代"中国科幻小说,具有中国文学的独特魅力,也为西方兴起的未来学提供了东方视角。

The construction of the cosmic sociology in the fiction of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin displays the faith of human beings in the future. The fiction examines the three principles of civilization,technology and ethics under the cosmic dimension and fulfils the logic self-consistency by proving the impossibilities of trusts, arrogance and eternity. While manifesting the vastness and indifference of the cosmic sociology,Liu Cixin releases the call for a better treatment of humanity and the returning of nature,which shows the contradiction and complexity of human thinking. In addition,the transcendence embedded in the questions to the universe brings a hue of metaphysics to the fiction and thus differs from the traditional plot-winning methods. As a part of Chinese literature,Chinese science fictions demonstrate the special charm belonging to the new generation and provides the futurology emerged in the West with the oriental perspective.
