《说》·新物理学·终极——从一个角度谈鲁迅精神遗产的独异性和当代意义

鲁迅写于1903年的《说》热情预告人类对世界的认识将发生革命性的大变化,当时的鲁迅已经站在自己民族理论思维的制高点上。相对论和量子力学两大革命性理论推翻了经典物理学绝对时空观与静态物质观的基本预设,而时间终结问题的提出,是对人类有始以来曾经拥有的精神理想的重大挑战。这促使鲁迅在五四落潮之后,大大地偏离了五四时代所倡导所理解的近代科学精神与近代科学方法,超越五四时代所崇尚所宣示的知识图式与知识谱系,进入更深邃的精神追问和哲学质询。生逢千年之交的中国人正与一个独特的时代相遇,面对各种“终结”说,面对“永远”的消解和形而上的消解,鲁迅思想的犀利性、前瞻性,他思维方式的独异性、悖论性以及他在“终结”与“中间物”、“虚无”与“实有”之间所做的抗争和所表现的智慧正凸显出当代意义。

"On Radium",New Physics,Ultimate: The Exceptionality and Contemporary Significance of Lu Xun's Intellectual Legacy

In his 1903 article "On Radium",Lu Xun passionately forecast that great and revolutionary changes would take place in man's cognition of the world.At that time Lu Xun's thoughts were at the height among Chinese national thinking.The two revolutionary theories of relativity and quantum overthrew the absolute concept of time-space and static substance of classical physics,and question of time ultimate challenged the intellectual ideal ever held by mankind beyond the memory of men.Chinese who live in a new millennium are faced with a unique era,and confronted with various kinds of ultimate theories and the deconstruction of forever and of metaphysics.The acuteness and foresight of Lu Xun's thoughts,the exceptionality,paradox of his way of thinking,and fighting between ultimate and intermediate,between nothingness and being, which reflect his wisdom,doubtlessly have contemporary significance.
