为揭示知识创造的本质和规律,采用二分法将新达尔文主义和拉马克主义两种观点予以融合。在此基础上,根据生物进化原理,围绕知识的类基因特性对知识基因、知识进化的选择、重组和变异以及知识进化与环境的关系进行解释。研究结果表明:纯粹的知识创造主要是新达尔文式的演化,体现知识创造的不确定性、随机性和不可控性。相对应地,知识的复制、流动等过程则具有更多的拉马克现象,带有明确的指向且结果可以被预测。知识基因的选择、重组和变异是知识得以被创造的根本原因。知识创造的方向受到环境的影响,知识创造的动力源于知识主体对环境的学习,新知识能够对环境进行改变。
In order to reveal the nature and patterns of knowledge creation, this thesis combines Neo-Darwinism with Lamarckism using Dichotomy. Based on biological evolution theories, we interpret knowledge gene, knowledge evolution's selection, restructuring and variation, as well as the relationship between knowledge evolution and the environment, with the acknowledgement that knowledge has characteristics in common with gene. Research results show that, knowledge creation in itself is evolution of Neo-Darwinism, reflecting that knowledge creation is uncertain, random and unpredictable. Correspondingly, Lamarckism could be reflected in knowledge's replication and flows, with certain direction and predictable results. The selection, restructuring and variation of knowledge are the basic reason why knowledge could be created. The direction of knowledge creation is affected by the environment. The driving force of knowledge creation has its origin in the learning process of knowledge workers in the environment, and new knowledge can change the environment accordingly.
