论原始思维的两重性

On the Duality of Primitive Thinking

原始思维具有两重性,即逻辑思维与原逻辑思维交叉共存。从我国旧石器时代的复合工具和狩猎活动,新石器时代的彩陶、绘画、雕塑、玉器图案纹样以及图腾崇拜中,可以看到原始思维的两重性交叉共存于原始人的头脑中,共存于一个艺术品、一个活动、神话和古史传说之中。每一代人在其社会生产和生活的“实践—学习—再实践—再学习”过程中,都在增强智慧和增加知识。东西方现代思维存在倾向上的差异,前者可以概括为“悟性的整合性的辩证的意象思维”,后者可以概括为“理性的概念性的分析的逻辑思维”。理想的创造性思维应该是“悟性的整合性的辩证的意象思维”和“理性的概念性的分析的逻辑思维”的有机结合。

Primitive thinking is characterized by a duality where logical thinking intersects and coexists with pre-logical thinking.This duality is evident in various artifacts and practices from different eras,such as the composite tools and hunting activities of the Paleolithic era,as well as the decorated pottery,paintings,sculptures,jade patterns,and totem worship of the Neolithic era.Primitive thinking is found within the minds of early humans and is reflected in their art,activities,myths,and ancient legends.Each generation enhances wisdom and knowledge through a cycle of"practice-learningre-practice-re-learning"in their social production and daily life.Modern thinking in both Eastern and Western contexts shows tendencies towards different orientations:the former is often characterized by"intuitive,integrative,dialectical,and imagistic thinking,"while the latter is characterized by"rational,conceptual,analytical,and logical thinking."Ideal creative thinking should represent an organic combination of the two orientations.
