课程名称：进化：一种非正统观点 课程概述： 本课程将介绍一种非正统的进化理论。虽然达尔文主义目前主导着我们对进化的认知，但它从未是、也并非如今是关于进化的最终“科学”定论。目前在公众视野中，达尔文主义的主要竞争者是“智能设计论”。两者都存在深刻的内在矛盾。 在本课程中，您将学习第三种、也是不同的思考进化问题的方式。这种方式既不同于“无意识的达尔文主义”，也区别于“智能设计论”。 本课程的理论源于作者作为一名生理学家的视角（关注生命如何运作）。作为生理学家，作者以独特的方式看待生命现象。虽然生理学是研究机制的科学，但它也深刻地揭示了生命本身的本质。生理学家或许是科学界最后的“活力论者”，他们认识到生命现象是宇宙中独一无二的存在。 理解生命的独特性，对于任何关于生命的理论（包括进化论）具备连贯性至关重要。生命的独特属性之一便是其明确的目的性和意向性。现代进化论对此全盘否定，而“智能设计论”则错误地将其归因。本课程将展示进化过程，如同生命的其他方面一样，是一个具有深刻目的性和意向性的过程。 教学大纲：无
This course will take you through a heterodox theory of evolution. While Darwinism dominates our thinking about evolution today, it has never been, nor is today, the final 'scientific' word. The principal competitor for Darwinism on the public stage at the moment is Intelligent Design Theory. Both suffer from deep incoherencies.In this course, you will learn a third, and different, way to think about evolution, one that forges a path between mindless Darwinism on the one hand, and Intelligent Design theory on the other.It is derived from my perspective as a physiologist (concerned with how life works). Being a physiologist, I look at the phenomenon of life in a unique way. While physiology is a science of mechanism, it is also a profound statement of the nature of life per se. Physiologists are perhaps the scientific world's last vitalists, that is to say, scientists who have an appreciation that the phenomenon of life is unlike any other in the universe.An understanding of what makes life unique is essential for any theory of life (which includes evolution) to be coherent. Among life's unique attributes is frank purposefulness and intentionality. Modern evolutionary theory denies these altogether, while Intelligent Design theory misattributes them. This course will show how evolution, like the rest of life, is a profoundly purposeful and intentional process.
