复杂性科学的融贯方法论

复杂性科学主要从方法论上进行了一场革命,举起了超越还原论的大旗。但是,超越还原论并不等同于走向传统的整体论,而是需要融合还原论和整体论的新方法论,这就是融贯方法论。融贯思维和融贯方法论要求我们要发挥还原论和整体论的长处,克服其缺陷,在整体的观照下分析,在分析的基础上综合,在还原和综合之间保持必要的张力。钱学森的综合集成方法论和欧阳莹之的综合微观分析方法论为我们提供了融贯方法论的两种尝试。复杂性科学超越还原论之后不是复归整体论而是走向融贯论。

Syncretism: A New Methodology for Complexity Sciences

One of the important contributions of complexity sciences has gone beyond the reductionism in scientific methodology.But this does not mean going back to the traditional holism.Complexity sciences need a new methodology,and we name it syncretism.Syncretism is beyond both reductionism and holism.On the route of syncretism,we have to persist in the combination of reduction and holism,and micro-analysis and macro-integration.That is to say,we must keep essential tension between reductionism and holism.
