User Interface Design for Virtual Environments

本書以獨特的驚鴻照影論述模式，探究晚近西方哲學與中國傳統詩學在各層次上的交疊與互映，尤其是將德勒茲（Gilles Deleuze）所提出的事件生發論，折射進言意說的語境之中。全書以文字美學為基礎，並選用與植物相關的漢字為例，進而引入西方的生物符號學（biosemiotics），以闡明言與意的運作如何往返於現實（actual）與虛擬（virtual）的框架，進而揭示在詩作與繪畫中，兩者若能依存「和之以天倪」的理念，則可將傳統上「言」與「意」截然二分的做法作出修正。 作者進一步闡述，寄寓於五行之木的漢字，在造字組合上呈現出既歸納又推演的循環演化，從語言學的角度來看，當能指（signifier）與所指（signified）進入某種非線性循環，即與西方哲學概念形成深度對話。例如，司空圖「風雲變態，花草精神」的詩意，與德勒茲根莖式思維所強調的非線性生成，構成互文性的呼應；「夜靜春山空」的「靜」與「空」，以明暗對照法（chiaroscuro），擴延到陰陽大地生境（milieu）般揭示詩句與自然場域的互滲關係；而「春風又綠江南岸」的「綠」不僅呼應德勒茲「樹在綠」並「反虛入渾」，切入生態的生成流程，體現「素處以默，妙機其微」的大塊密移之理。換言之，言意本身就是事件生發，具有轉化與生成的動能，正如《易經》所言：「知幾其神乎」。 本書論證新穎細膩，哲理深邃，適合對西方哲學、中國詩學、語言學，以及跨文化研究等領域有興趣的讀者。【本書特色】一、 跨文化哲學對話：將德勒茲的生成哲學與中國古典詩學進行創意的交融，提出新型態的「言意生發論」。二、 結合文字美學與生物符號學：從漢字植物意象出發，延伸到語言的自然生成，架構出語言即生命的符號過程。三、 以詩畫為哲學事件的觸媒：將古詩中的詞句視為感官—思想的事件場，彰顯詩性生成的微妙律動與生態節奏。
