十二年后,(二零零四年三月二十日十二点四十八分),再次面对半穹山。 这一次,你不再是孑然一身。
是在Mill Valley的青色山丘上。一些问题渐渐显形了,但是似乎又不尽然。 在这个自建的世界上,人们是醒着的,还是如苏菲所言,在门口的房间里熟睡呢? 这环绕的一切(技术)究竟是从那里来又向何处去?人们是完全被动的吗?最大程度地兴利抑弊是可能的吗?得益和责任能分离吗? 自牛顿以来的证据是不乐观的,而浮士德的诱惑会有终结吗?
从“素朴”起就有这样的问题。在“空”和“我们”之间,“自我”真的存在吗?或者说,骑手的“选择”真的存在吗?系统的稳定性是整体关系(结构)的稳定,而不是元素本身。这里,尺度的概念重新出现了。只有确定尺度,描述才可能有意义。但是不同尺度之间是交叉作用的。这种交叉作用本身消解了“自我”的绝对价值,主体在建构系统的过程中本身也被系统(其稳定的秩序)所建构;更何况“系统”是一个动力学的概念,和环境又是共演的关系。 不过,凝视于存在的这一点,列维-斯特劳斯的结尾是平静的:
列维-斯特劳斯谈城市:“城市代表文明最复杂最精纯的面貌,在一片小小的空间里吸引集中了一大堆人,再加上城市发展的不同阶段所经历的时间,提供一个使各种潜意识的态度得以沉淀的熔炉。”
