我以为,欧洲文艺复兴运动乃是使人类浑沌初开的一场革命,在这场史无前例的革命中,开出了两朵人类的精神文明之花——科学与人文。然而,这本是同根生的两朵鲜花却在以后的岁月中走向对立。同样是在文艺复兴的时代,诞生了一本极不起眼的小册子,那就是被称为科幻小说鼻祖的《弗兰肯斯坦》。这是一个奇怪的名字——“科幻小说”,它更像一个混血的婴儿,科技内涵加人文精神。在那个科学与人文刚刚开始分裂的时代,它更显得异类。有人把科学与人文比作从山脚开始的两条不同的路,最终会在山顶会合,科幻小说更像从这两条路的中点开始的一 I believe that the Renaissance movement in Europe was a revolution that opened the chaos of human beings. In this unprecedented revolution, two human spiritual civilizations—science and humanities—were created. However, the two flowers that were born with the same root were opposed in the years that followed. Also in the era of the Renaissance, a very insignificant pamphlet was born, called Frankenstein, the originator of science fiction. This is a strange name - “science fiction”, it is more like a mixed-baby, science and technology plus humanistic spirit. In an era when science and culture have just begun to split, it is even more heterogeneous. Some people compare science and humanities to two different paths that start at the foot of the mountain. Eventually they meet at the top of the mountain. Science fiction is more like a start from the midpoint of the two roads.
