试论现代物理学和先秦道家思想之间的趋同性

以相对论和量子力学为基础的现代物理学和先秦道家思想是建立在截然不同的认知途径基础上的两种知识体系，但是在世界观的层面上，它们却表现出了惊人的趋同性，这种趋同性主要有以下几个方面：超越常识；超越语言；物质生成观；时空观以及物质间存在的隐秘联系。“当代新道家”和人体科学研究可以看作是对这种趋同性的两种不同思路的反应。

Parallels between Modern Physics and Pre-Qing Taoist Thought

Modern physics, which is based on the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, is a knowledge system with entirely different cognitive channels from those of pre-Qing Taoist thought. But, on the level of world outlook, between these two knowledge systems, astonishing parallels can be found in the following respects: beyond the general knowledge, beyond language, the concept of the genera- tion of matter, the concept of time and space and the ulterior relations between matter. The modem Neo-Taoist school and the scientific reserch of the human body are two different responses to such parallels.
