商品描述

This book reviews the antinomy of rationality and selfishness raised from egoism, though rationality and selfishness are understood as basic evolutionary dynamics of humans and other organisms in both classical economics and evolutionary biology. Based on the research and a comparison with human's social cooperative behavior, the author presents his belief that the social cooperative system, in its essence, cooperation and conflict are of uncertain stochasticity resulting from their intrinsic asymmetric interaction between cooperative partners. The book then discusses limitations of Newton's methodology of monism in both biology and social science. The understanding of the asymmetric and uncertain characteristics found in cooperation system needs perspective of quantum physics of pluralism. At the end of the book, the author undertakes a review of consistency of Newtonian and monism philosophy and the links between quantum physics and pluralism philosophy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書評論了自利主義所引發的理性與自私之矛盾,儘管在古典經濟學和進化生物學中,理性和自私被理解為人類和其他生物的基本進化動力。根據研究和與人類社會合作行為的比較,作者提出了他的信念,即社會合作系統在本質上是由合作夥伴之間的內在非對稱互動所產生的不確定隨機性的合作和衝突。本書還討論了牛頓的單一主義方法在生物學和社會科學中的局限性。對於在合作系統中發現的非對稱和不確定特徵的理解需要量子物理學的多元主義觀點。在本書的最後,作者對牛頓和單一主義哲學的一致性以及量子物理學和多元主義哲學之間的聯繫進行了回顧。
