摘要

从生态工程到人工智能，模仿自然是许多科学和工程研究领域日益流行的策略。不过，虽然生物仿生学及相关领域最近吸引了越来越多哲学家的关注，但对于我建议我们将其视为基本认识论预设的问题，即我们可以从大自然中获取知识的问题，人们的参与却相对较少。我认为，强调和探讨这一预设开辟了一种新的认识论方法，其基础是从传统认识论与作为知识对象的自然的关系转向生物拟态与作为知识来源的自然的关系。

Biomimetic Epistemology

Imitating nature is an ever more popular strategy in many fields of science and engineering research, from ecological engineering to artificial intelligence. But while biomimetics and related fields have recently attracted increased attention from philosophers, there has been relatively little engagement with what I suggest we see as their basic epistemological presupposition: that we may acquire knowledge from nature. I argue that emphasizing and exploring this presupposition opens up a new approach to epistemology, based on a shift from a conventional epistemological relationship to nature as object of knowledge to a biomimetic relationship to nature as source of knowledge.
