“庙算”——概念的战略运演

“Strategic Estimation”——The Strategic Evolution of Concepts

"庙算"是《孙子兵法·计》的主题。"庙算"的内容包括军事实力和对实力的综合运用两个方面。"庙算"的过程分为定计和用计两个阶段。定计是对实力的计算和评估;用计是对综合实力的随机处置和权变运用。用计的方法,就是权变,就是造势。对定计和用计的辩证逻辑思维过程,是运用抽象概念在头脑中进行思维活动的过程。在这个过程中攻守矛盾的博弈作为思维活动的对立统一,通过"诡道"得以实现。由此建立起有(变)无的抽象思维过程,确立了"诡道"这个攻中有守、守中藏攻的具体概念,阐释出"兵者诡道"的辩证逻辑内涵,在头脑中实现了概念的战略运演。
