自然科学视野下的自由意志问题

On Free Will Problem from Perspective of Natural Science

由于受到西方主流哲学有关自由与必然二元对立架构的误导,西方某些科学家对于神经科学和量子力学方面的最新研究成果做出了片面扭曲的解释,甚至没有内省性地反思自己拥有求知欲或好奇心这种特定自由意志的日常心理体验,结果在探讨自由意志的问题时陷入了逻辑矛盾和自败悖论,其中的失误和教训值得我们认真反思和汲取。

Having been misled by the dichotomy between freedom and necessity set up by the mainstream western philosophy,some western scientists have made some one-sided and distorted explanations of the latest research findings in neuroscience and quantum mechanics without introspective reflection on the daily psychological experience of thirst for knowledge and curiosity.As a result,these scientists have fallen in some logical contradictions and self-defeating paradoxes in their explorations of the free will issue,and we should carefully reflect on their mistakes and lessons.
