摘要

依中國「易」的精神，世界萬象，反映「理」、「數」、「象」層次。依本文探討， 「理」「數」「象」之間的關連性有跡可尋，並具內在一致性。吾人若能揣摩科學數理的形式，如數理之「公設」（postulate）、「公理」（axiom）、「一致性」（Logical consistency）推論邏輯等，依樣考察易學對人事推論的結構推演基礎、演繹邏輯，則約略可以發覺中國古老智慧的科學性格。在西方思想傳統中，學問分科，至少可以略分為三個傳統，「人文學科」、「自然科學」、與「社會科學」。人文學科偏重素養，不涉及科學性格討論。而自然科學與社會科學，都有可驗證、可否證、以及可推演的科學性格在其中。本文旨在說明，中國易學相關的技術，具有兩種明確特徵：①即在底層的數理推論上，具有自然數理科學的嚴謹性特徵；而②在理解與意義詮釋方面，則具有社會科學的詮釋學傳統。本文建議，中國易學之研究，其實同時包括數理推論、社會意義詮釋、以及人文素養在其中。易學的研究特性深具跨界的寬廣學術傳統。

Chinese I-Ching technique was used to deduce world everything in the most simple principles. Since the world is full of mathematics, it may be appropriate to be explained mathematically. The system of explanation reflects three dimensions: ＂universal logic＂, ＂represent number＂, and ＂social & natural phenomena.＂ (理,數,象) The three dimensions follow an internally consistent logic. Is it possible to construct the scientific concepts from the internally consistent logic just like the postulates, axioms, and consistency logic that supporting mathematics system? The article concludes that learn to look into the internal structure of the personnel of the deduction inference cornerstone of logical deduction, you can really grasp the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. The article thinks that scientific character seems to be inside the inherent structure of ＂I-Ching＂. This is the article tries to investigate issue. In case of accurately extracting the logical inference inside ＂I-Ching＂ is possible, the system of explanation could be given solid scientific status. This is a good way toward the modernity of Chinese wisdom. Western intellectual tradition, the Western disciplines, can be divided into at least three traditional, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Humanities emphasis on literacy, science does not involve discussion of character. And natural and social sciences, have verifiable, can permit, and a deduction of scientific character in them. This article aims to explain, easy to learn techniques related to China, has two specific features: namely, the underlying mathematical reasoning, scientific rigor with mathematical characteristics; while in the understanding and meaning of interpretation, the hermeneutical tradition of social sciences. This paper recommends research to learn Chinese, with its inherent character of science, its status should gradually from College of Humanities, Social Sciences, transferred to, and so was able to continue to learn and expand academic influence.
