A Hypothesis On The Mechanism Of Thought

A Hypothesis on the Mechanism of Thought (ABSTRACT)Thought is a unfathomable enigma through the r.ges.From the beginning of civilization to modern times, although limited by the conditions of sci-ence and technology, never has people stopped reseaching on the phenomena of thought of itself s. For macrocosm, .Aristotle founded Formal Logic, Kant set forth the 'Innate Comprehensive Judgments' and La. Mettrie found that 'Man is machine. ' For microcosm,W. Harvey estab-lished Physiology, and F. Vicgd'Azyr drew a dissecting picture of brain. Between the two sides, W. wundt set up a first psychological laboratory of the world, Cattell started the psychological test and S. Freud opened up a mental analysis system.Nowadays, the thought research becomes more mature and more successes because the re-searching conditions get more and more sufficient.First of all, there are correct world outlook and methodology. The Maxist philosophy enables us to take a firm stand in the danger zone between materialism and idealism, in turn to explain the consciousness starting from the matter. Some new crosswise subjects, including the both of new and old ' Three - views' .provide the thought research with powerful weapons of theory, idea and method. Now we are able to build a chain of cause- effect to illustrate the mechanism of thought by some means of System,Feedback, 'Black-box' , Vagueness and so on.Secondly, the researching measures are more advanced. Electrophysiologic technology enables us to watch the movement and change of various mini-structures of brain, Molecular biology' s exploration on brain has gone deep into the level of molecule, atom and even quantum. Mathemat-ics has put forward some equations about the information obtainment, features conformity and model ricognition of brain. The technologies of supersonic B,CT and nuclear magnetic resonance have been able to show the situation and pictures of brain. What is more, the electroen-cephalogram could be used'to translate a part of course of thought'. It is interesting to note that scientists published a human body direction-the frame of gene groups atlas in June last year. 'Scientists foretold that there should be a greater project of following the drawing of human body blueprint, drawing of ten billion or more neurons of our brain. 'Thirdly, basic sciences are being perfected. The newly subject of synapse can show the trans-mission of information of feeling and explain the physiologic grounds of memory roughly. Nervous chemistry has had the new understanding of the chemical transmitters-the transmitters of infor-mation. Nervous biology research on the growth and branch of nerves will be helpful to under-stand the formation of nervous route.With the perfecting of reseach conditions, it was born of some theories explaining the thought phenomena. The doctrines of the Three-system of Functions, the Temporary Nerves Connection and the Thought Schema were put forward separately by A. R. Luria,Pavlov and J. Pi-aget. In recent years, there are doctrines of Information Processing, Mind Calculation, Language Growth, Visual Image,Neurons Network and our country's holographic growth of brain nerves.Although these theories have some weakpoints-can never make their statement consistent,over stating a side of thought and contradict one another, yet it widen our field of vision and pave our way after all. It enables us-with the use of philosophic thought and at the most universal, most fundamental level-to sum up the newly fruits of concrete sciences on thought research, to think the isolated and special fact with dialectic attitude of macrocosm 梞icrocosm, phenomenon -essence, concreteness-abstraction, specific - general character, relativism ?absolute, limitedness - boundlessness, and in turn to advance a hypothesis describing the thought mechanism in a positive and systematic way:Experience is the base and material of thought. What is called thought is a course of indexing, matching, arranging and making up experience which kept in cerebral cortex i...
