麦克林托克转座因子理论建立的哲学思考

Philosophical Analysis on the Thinking Way of Creation of Transposable Element Theory in Genetics

对麦克林托克发现及创立转座因子理论的过程进行了阐述和哲学分析。转座因子的创立是知识继承与创新相统一的结果,是收敛式思维和发散式思维相平衡的产物;对偶然现象的非逻辑思维是自然认知的突破点。

Analyses were made on the thinking method of the creating of transposable element theory in genetics by Barbara McClintock. The establishment of new theory such as transposable elements was based on knowledge inheritance and novation, and it was the result of balance between traditional convergence thinking and normal-breaking thinking. The key point to elucidate nonconventional phenomenon is the normal-breaking thinking.
