文化如何演化?
How Does Culture Evolve?
AI总结:
本章提出以自催化网络刻画世界观与文化变迁,整合多学科证据解释文化起源、个体认知发展及社会因素对文化演化的作用。
摘要:
本章综合了来自认知科学、演化理论、人类学、心理学研究和计算模型的证据,以提出一种受复杂系统启发的创造力理论,并探讨其在文化演化中的作用。创造力受到个体由记忆、概念和信念构成的整合网络——即其世界观——的整体形态引导。这一整合结构及其随时间发生的动态变化,借助自催化网络加以描述。自催化网络能够彼此互动,也能够生长和演化;通过其组成部分之间的相互作用,它们会产生新的组成部分。因此,它们被用于描述个体内部与个体之间,以及跨文化谱系的文化变迁。本章概述了关于文化起源的自催化网络模型、每个儿童成为文化演化参与者的认知发展过程,以及模仿、领导力和社交媒体在文化演化中的作用,还有创造力与连续性之间的权衡。
英文摘要:
This chapter synthesizes evidence from cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychological studies, and computational models for a complex systems inspired theory of creativity, and its role in cultural evolution. Creativity is guided by the global shape of one's integrated network of memories, concepts, and beliefs: one's worldview. This integrated structure and its dynamical change over time are described using autocatalytic networks. Autocatalytic networks can interact with each other, and they can grow and evolve; through interactions between their components, they generate novel components. Thus, they are used to describe cultural change both within and between individuals, as well as across cultural lineages. The chapter outlines autocatalytic network models of the origin of culture, the cognitive developmental process by which each child becomes a participant in cultural evolution, and the role of imitation, leadership, and social media on cultural evolution, as well as the trade-off between creativity and continuity.
