确定性:终结还是破缺--读<确定性的终结>

克服“确定论两难困境”是西方科学文化向新的历史形态嬗变的重大课题。普利高津在《确定性的终结》一书中依据现代科学的最新成果,给这个课题以新的阐述,提出许多深刻的辩证思想。但断言确定性“终结”了是没有根据的,非科学的。正确的提法是“确定性的破缺”;客观世界存在确定性,但它是破缺的,因同时还有不确定性。

Certainty: Driven to an End or Broken--A Review of The End of the Certainty

Overcoming "the dilemma of certainty" is one important question to study when the Western scientific culture evolves itself to a new historical form. Based on the new achievement of modern science, Ilya Prigogine in his book The End of the Certainty put forward some new discassions with many valuable profound dialectical thoughts. He asserted that certainty comes to an end, which has no foundation and is not a scientific statement. The correct one should be "broken certainty". The objective world exists certainty, but broken, because it has uncertainty at the same time.
