創(chuàng)造性思維的背后有沒有可以反復(fù)借鑒的思維方式？哪些是我們觀察、思考、分析和決策中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)而又最容易被忽視的問題？如何才能系統(tǒng)性地提高我們自身的創(chuàng)造能力？本書《轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)——?jiǎng)?chuàng)造性的本質(zhì)》(英文版)介紹了一系列具有代表性的觀點(diǎn)、理論和實(shí)例以及在此基礎(chǔ)上形成的一個(gè)知識(shí)發(fā)展的新理論，從理論和實(shí)踐兩個(gè)方面闡述了如何通過信息可視化、可視分析等方法直觀地展現(xiàn)科學(xué)發(fā)展的宏觀結(jié)構(gòu)、趨勢(shì)、變換及傳播；此外還介紹了更為廣泛的分析推理以及決策中常常遇到的幾類問題和相關(guān)對(duì)策。

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：插圖：The difference between Davis framework and Janusian thinking is subtle butsignificant. In Davis' framework, when we are facing two opposite and contra-dictory views, we are supposed to choose one of them. In contrast, Janusianthinking is not about choosing one of the existing views and discarding theother. Instead, we must come up with a new and creative perspective so thatit can accommodate and subsume all the contradictions. The contradictionsat one level are no longer seen as a problem at the new level of thinking.It is in this type of conceptual and cognitive transformation that discovererscreate a new theory that makes the co-existence of the antitheses meaningful.The ability to view things from multiple perspectives and reconcile con-tradictions is in the center of dialectical thinking. The origin of dialectics isa dialog between two or more people with different views but wish to seek aresolution. Socratics, Hegel, and Marx are the most influential figures in thedevelopment of dialectical thinking.According to Hegel, a dialectic process consists of three stages of thesis,antithesis, and synthesis. An antithesis contradicts and negates the thesis.The tension between the thesis and antithesis is resolved by synthesis. Eachstage of the dialectic thinking process makes implicit contradictions in thepreceding stage explicit. An important dialectical principle in Hegel's systemis the transition from quantity to quality. In the commonly used expression,"the last straw that broke the camel's back", the one additional straw is aquantitative change, where a breakdown camel is a qualitative change. Thenegation of the negation is another important principle for Hegel. To Hegel,human history is a dialectical process.Hegel was criticized by materialist or Maxist dialectics. In Karl Marx'sown words, his dialectic method is the direct opposite of Hegel's. To Marx,the material world determines the mind. Marxists see contradiction as thesource of development. In this view, class struggle is the contradiction thatplays the central role in social and political life. In Chapter 1 we introducedhow internalism and externalism differ in terms of their views of the natureof science and its role in the society. Dialectic thinking does seem to have aunique place in a diverse range of contexts.
