“盲人摸象”对生物科学研究的现实意义与启示

"Blind people feel an elephant" and biological science research

"盲人摸象"是盲人对于大象的感知过程,其中蕴藏着深刻的哲学规律。这一规律对于生物学研究有着全面的指导作用。由于生物的多样性与复杂性,科学家在探索生命科学的过程中,也扮演着"盲人"的角色。科学家们只有像"盲人摸象"一样从不同角度去探索,不断地"遗传"和"继承",利用科学的方法进行科学研究,才能获得"大象"的真实面目。

＂Blind people feel an elephant＂ shows that blind people only touch some part of it and conclude what the elephant is like. Scientific research is that scientist will find the law of science, but before the truth is revealed, scientists are the ＂blind people＂ of the science, just as the blind does not know the elephants. Due to the diversity and complexity of biology, scientists should do just like ＂blind people feel elephants＂, explore from the perspectives, and use scientific methods to conduct scientific research and synthesize based on ＂inheritance＂ and ＂inheritance＂ so as to obtain of the law of science like that the blind knows the true appearance of ＂elephants＂.
