Abstract/Summary:
The uncertainty of knowledge has a long history.In the past,those researches about uncertainty of knowledge were characterized by opposing the absoluteness and necessity of certain knowledge with relativism and humanism.The uncertainty of knowledge can’t surpass the certainty of knowledge which based on the mechanism,because we can’t provide the appropriate evidence for the uncertainty of knowledge from the evolutionary realism.Complexity theory emerged in the latter half of the 20th century,which has the totally different evolution patter from the mechanism.Complexity theory shows the uncertainty how to exist and work in the evolutionary process of a complex world,and provide the reliable foundation for the uncertainty of knowledge from the world evolutionary mechanism.In the view of complexity,the thesis with the evidence of complexity theory,systematically study the uncertainty of knowledge.In the first part,the thesis shows the problem in the research of the uncertainty of knowledge in a long term.The problem is it can’t provide the reliable foundation for the uncertainty of knowledge from the world evolutionary mechanism.In order to solve this problem,we need to learn some favorable things form the research of complexity science to promote the development of knowledge-based view.Then,the thesis tells the main content of the correlation theory of complexity,and demonstrate it’s possible to solve the problem in the research of uncertainty of knowledge by complexity theory is possible and inevitable.In the third part,the thesis studies the uncertainty of knowledge from the view of complexity.First of all,in the view of complexity,the thesis specifically studies the reason of uncertainty of knowledge with the correlation theory of complexity.The thesis is different from the theoretical basis of some research perspective,such as relativism and humanism.The thesis demonstrate the appearance of the uncertainty of knowledge in the self-organization evolution theory.This theory is obeyed by the complexity theory in the course of evolution.Therefore,in the view of complexity,the uncertainty of knowledge has new meaning.At last,this part shows the substantive characteristics of the uncertainty are imperfect.And the imperfection is necessary to the knowledge.In the third part,the thesis shows in the view of complexity,the uncertainty of knowledge greatly influenced the natural science,social sciences and human thinking mode.It’s also the meaning of this thesis.The author thinks the uncertainty of knowledge break the universally adapted principle which is desired by the natural science,the social science should pay more attention on the subject behavior which greatly influence the social development,and make subject behavior become more helpful to the social development.In the last part,the thesis shoes the uncertainty of knowledge make the claims to the revolution of principal way of thinkingIn the conclusion,the author thinks the problems in the research of the uncertainty of knowledge will be solved in the view of complexity.Compared with the certainty,the uncertainty is a knowledge-based view which not only is more reasonable and consistent with the evolutionary realism and the course of practical recognition,but also its establishment can help us to face various complex problems in the real world.
