认知神经科学中精神系统的生物社会性本质

The Biosociality Essence of the Mental System in Cognitive Neuroscience

本文从认知神经科学的研究进展来论述精神系统的本质问题,提出精神系统的本质既不是纯粹生物性的,也不是纯粹社会性的,而是一种生物社会性。精神系统无非是社会化了的神经生理活动。认知神经科学主要的理论依据是神经元理论和脑功能定位理论。其哲学基础是取消式唯物主义,虽然不是最佳的选择,但它的科学基础、方法论、立论根据、逻辑论证甚至内容很值得重视。未来要加强对高级复杂精神活动的研究和对精神活动的社会性研究。作为对精神系统进行研究的心理科学、认知科学、行为科学等领域,必须和生物科学尤其是神经科学紧密结合。

The essence of mental system from advances of research in cognitive neuroscience was discussed in the present paper. It was pointed out that the essence of mental system is neither purely biological nor purely social, but a kind of biosociality. The mental system is nothing more than socialized physiological movements. The main theoretical basis of cognitive neuroscience is brain localization theory and neuron theory. Its philosophical basis is eliminative materialism, although it is not the optimal choice. But its scientific basis, methodology, theoretical basis, logical evidence and even the content are worthy of attention. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the research on advanced complex mental activities and the research on the sociality of mental activities. As the fields of psychological science, cognitive science and behavioral science, the research of mental system must be closely combined with biological science, especially neuroscience.
