科学的系统,还是人文的系统,这是个问题——与叶隽商榷

Scientific System,or Humanistic System? It Is a Problem

侨易学是一次系统建构实验,体现了当代社会观察和简化自身复杂性的愿望。叶隽利用《易经》的符号路径,发展了"二元三维"的侨易系统,给极度复杂的社会运作和演变一个简明框架。然而,这种建构系统思路的缺陷在于,它以形而上的"道"为归依,和形而下世界缺乏有效沟通,对于"中"的指定沦为修辞性的补救措施,这就导致:一是和物质世界相脱离;二是不能意识到自身也只是社会系统的产物。相反,本文作者主张,系统的组织原则须由"人文"变为"科学",因为一是科学才是和现实世界的变化相融共生的现代理性形式;二是科学才能打破超系统的幻想——一切科学知识都是临时的。

Qiao Yi is an experiment of system construction,which embodies a desire of contemporary society to observe and reduce its own complexities.Based on the symbolic structure of Book of Changes,Ye Jun has developed a Qiao Yi system,whose central principle is 'two poles and three dimensions'.In this way,he tries to give an effective framework for the highly complicated social operations and differentiation.However,the problem of this system construction is that it focuses on the metaphysical Dao and lacks an effective communication with the real world.His attempts to find a Middle link appear only to be a provisional rhetorical remedy.As a result,this system is separated from the material world.Moreover,it can't identify its real status as one product of social system.The author advocates,on the contrary,a change from 'humanity' to 'scientific' in the way of organizing system,not only because science is a form of reason coexisting with changes of the real world,it can also break the fantasy of a super system─all scientific knowledge is temporary.
