Abstract

本研究围绕现代数学在二十世纪至二十一世纪的重大范式转向展开,重点分析了从形式主义到结构主义的思想演变及其在数学整体发展中的深远影响。文章从历史脉络、哲学基础与学科结构三个维度切入,揭示了形式主义在奠定数学严格性方面的贡献,以及结构主义在推动数学抽象化、统一化与体系化过程中的核心作用。通过对典型数学分支(如代数、拓扑、范畴论等)的案例分析,本文展示了结构主义如何成为现代数学的主导框架,并进一步讨论了这一转向对当代数学研究方法、知识组织方式以及跨学科互动的启示。研究旨在为理解现代数学的整体结构提供新的视角,并为未来数学哲学与数学教育的讨论奠定基础。 This work examines the major paradigm shift in modern mathematics from the twentieth to the twenty-first century, focusing on the intellectual transition from formalism to structuralism and its profound impact on the development of the discipline. Through historical, philosophical, and structural analyses, the study highlights the role of formalism in establishing mathematical rigor and the subsequent rise of structuralism as a unifying and organizing framework for contemporary mathematics. Case studies from algebra, topology, and category theory illustrate how structuralism reshaped mathematical thinking and methodology. The paper further discusses the implications of this shift for modern research practices, knowledge organization, and interdisciplinary interactions. The aim is to provide a comprehensive perspective on the architecture of modern mathematics and to contribute to ongoing discussions in the philosophy of mathematics and mathematics education.
