理性之上,重新审视科学的认知“盲点” | 红杉Library
红杉汇· 2025-08-22 00:07
我们对"盲点"一词并不陌生。在生理学中,盲点指的是视网膜上的一个特殊位置,这里是神经纤维的汇集点, 因缺乏感光细胞,无法感知外部光线,也无法产生神经信号,从而形成了视觉上的"空白"。尽管我们的两只眼 睛中都存在视觉盲点,但我们在日常生活中却毫无察觉。这是因为我们双眼视野重叠,大脑可通过整合来自每 只眼睛的信息自动补偿盲点产生的视觉缺失。 《何为科学》一书的三位作者巧妙地借用了"盲点"这一概念,认为人类认识科学时也存在一种类似视觉盲点的 奇特现象。虽然这种认知盲点使我们对一些原本显而易见的事实视而不见,并在无形中影响着我们对经验证据 的准确理解,深刻塑造了我们对现代科学的整体认知,但我们自己竟对此全然不知。 由于盲点的存在,我们今天对科学的认识不够完整,甚至带有偏差。我们忘记了直接经验才是科学的本质来源 和坚实支撑,反而将一种特殊的世界观嫁接到科学上。"这种世界观认为,科学给我们提供了关于客观物理实在 的真实描述,或至少是对所有可观察物理现象的真实描述。" 本文为《何为科学》译者所写的导读,有删节。荐读之。 《何为科学》 作 者 : [ 美 ] 亚 当 · 弗 兰 克 [ 美 ] 马 塞 洛 · 格 雷 斯 [ ...

HR管理活动与流程:效率指标 再加上HR的成果往往是间接的——许多HR工作,如提升员工敬业度、塑造企业文化或发展领导力,其效果 需要时间沉淀,难以立竿见影。那么,在众多变量交织的情况下,要单独衡量HR对业务成 ...
