內容簡介

李約瑟先生認為:中國的科學及技術,曾經領先西方達十八個世紀之久,不知道為什麼,在這兩、三百年卻「落後」於西方;這就是有名的「李約瑟難題」(Needham’s Grand Question, NGQ)!很明顯,如果我們能找出曾領先西方科技的原因,並理解所謂「落後」的迷思;那麼,曾經領先西方達十八個世紀的中華優秀傳統文化,就必能再續輝煌。

本書的主要目的,就是試圖由古代的哲學、科學及醫學中找到一個正確答案。首先,在本書的哲學篇中,作者提出了「分形連續體渾沌波動論」做為古代哲學「氣陰陽五行」的現代表述。接下來,在科學篇中,基於此表述,提出「中華自然哲學之數學原理」三大定律,它比西方牛頓的「自然哲學之數學原理」更廣泛、更符合大自然、更富於可操作性!最後,在醫學篇中,基於前兩篇哲學及科學的現代表述,進行中、西醫學的比較,而獲得「中醫比西醫好」的結論。

回首前塵,中國的哲學、科學及醫學,歸根結底都是以整體觀及有機哲學的方法論,來研究宇宙、社會及人體的複雜動態系統。這種方法,在過去的十八個世紀,都很成功;但是,近三百年來,西方的還原論及機械觀,由於簡單易行,使得自古以來,就缺乏有力數學工具的整體觀,無法面對還原論的挑戰!

然而,本書作者將中國的哲學、科學以及醫學,予以「分形連續體渾沌波動論」的現代表述後,它們不但比西方的哲學、科學以及醫學好,而且更可以用來探討複雜的人體,以及未來工程技術的創新發明!我們相信:領先西方達十八個世紀的中華優秀傳統文化,必能繼往開來,再創輝煌。畢竟,一個偉大的民族,怎麼可能沒有充滿其文化特色的哲學、科學與醫學!
