基于时空特征的世界-大脑关系及其哲学探析

A Philosophical Analysis of the World-Brain Relationship Based on the Feature of Time and Space

着眼于描述大脑和世界的关系,格奥尔格·诺瑟夫提出一种神经哲学视角上的世界-大脑关系,认为世界和大脑之间以时间和空间的形式相互联系着。世界-大脑关系不仅为大脑和意识之间本体论关系提供了前提条件,而且为我们从时空特征上解答了意识的实在和本质问题。世界-大脑关系作为一种神经科学和哲学的综合理论,它在突破狭隘的脑内主义意识观的同时,还从时空关系视角调和了物质和精神、主观与客观的对立。与此同时,世界-大脑关系也面临着多方面的争论与质疑,包括如何破解大脑属性矛盾,如何定位意识在时空中的位置,以及如何定义世界-大脑关系的哲学构成等。

Focusing on the description of the relationship between the brain and the world,Georg Northoff proposed a world-brain relationship based on the perspective of neurophilosophy.He believed that the world and the brain are connected in the form of time and space.The world-brain relationship not only provides a prerequisite for the ontological relationship between brain and consciousness,but also solves the problems of the reality and nature of consciousness from the characteristics of time and space.As a comprehensive theory of philosophy and neuroscience,the world-brain relationship breaks through the narrow intracerebralism of consciousness while reconciling the opposition between matter and spirit,subjectivity and objectivity from the perspective of space-time relationship.At the same time,the world-brain relationship also faces many controversies and doubts,including how to solve the contradiction of brain attributes,how to locate the position of consciousness in time and space,and how to define the philosophical structure of the relationship between world and brain.
