摘要
水本原说不仅是世界上最早提出的本原说之一,而且它还将古代的几个最著名的文明联系在了一起。而且它们都有一个相似之处,就是将水定义为一种世界的原初基质。在水本原论中水作为世界的基质将世界囊括其中。这样,水便是一种包罗一切的、原初的、唯一的、无内在和外在差别的存在。但是这些水本原论中的水所具有的一些性质反而与非存在的性质极其相似,因为,这样的一种所谓的无任何内外差异的统一性的存在是无可言说的、无可描述的,它只能是一种非存在(无)的形而上学的标示。如果将水理解为一个抽象的概念,就会有很多哲学史上的概念都与这个抽象概念相类似。如水本原论中的水一样,信息演化本体论中的非存在本身是无限与永恒的,所以如同水是先于世界,作为世界的基质一样,非存在也是先于存在并作为了存在的类基质。与水相同,非存在也不是直接创造了存在,存在是在自身的演化运动过程中完成了其与非存在之间的转化。存在的演化是自然的,是不依靠非存在的。
"Cosmism of Water"is one of the earliest cosmism in the world.It is not only one of the earliest origin theories of the world,but also links the most famous ancient civilizations.In many thoughts of the ancient civilizations,"water"is defined as a kind of original medium create and covers the world.So that,in those"Cosmism of Water","water"is a kind of existence of an all-embracing,the original,the only and no inner,outer and difference.But the properties of the water in these"Cosmism of Water"are very similar to the non-existence.As the water in the"Cosmism of Water",the non-existence itself in the new information ontology is infinite and eternal,so as the water is original medium of the world,and the non-existence is also as the original medium of existence.Like the water,non-existence does not directly create existence,but completes the transformation between non-existence and existence in the course of its own evolutionary movement.The evolution of existence is natural and does not depend on non-existence.So that"water"in the"Cosmism of Water"only is a kind of non-existence.And The"water"in these"Cosmism of Water"becomes an abstract concept,then it will be the most primitive metaphysical concept in the human thought,and a lot of concepts in the history of philosophy are similar with it.
