%X 近年来，随着人工智能领域技术的兴起，“涌现”(Emergence)与“顿悟”(Epiphany)成为跨学科研究中的重要概念，广泛涉及哲学、心理学与复杂科学等领域。二者均表现出突发性、整体性与不可预测性等非线性特征，常被用以解释知识的跃迁式生成。然而，“涌现”与“顿悟”的哲学背景、因果结构与认识论上存在根本差异，决定了它们在认知生成方式与系统适用边界上的本质区分。文章从概念演化与结构出发，辨析“涌现”与“顿悟”的内涵特征，探讨它们在系统科学与具身认知、科学实在论与现象学中的哲学立场。通过比较，指出人工智能尚不具备实现“顿悟”的情境理解与具身经验的能力；非线性结构如“顿悟”对于突破知识积累的瓶颈与认知过载具有独特价值，提示我们在AI时代重新反思人类意识的生成机制与哲学基础。
In recent years, with the rise of technologies in the field of artificial intelligence, the concepts of “emergence” and “epiphany” have garnered increasing attention in interdisciplinary research, spanning philosophy, psychology, and complexity science. Both phenomena exhibit nonlinear charac- teristics such as abruptness, holism, and unpredictability, and are frequently invoked to account for discontinuous leaps in knowledge generation. However, beneath their superficial resemblance lies a fundamental divergence in their philosophical underpinnings, causal architectures, and epistemo- logical implications. These divergences entail essential distinctions in the modes of cognitive genera- tion they represent and in the boundaries of their systemic applicability. This article traces the conceptual evolution and structural features of “emergence” and “epiphany”, elucidating their respective ontological commitments within system theory and embodied cognition, as well as their positioning in the debates between scientific realism and phenomenology. Through a comparative analysis, the paper argues that current artificial intelligence lacks the capacity for “epiphany”, understood as situated understanding mediated by embodied experience. It is further suggested that nonlinear structures such as “epiphany” hold singular philosophical significance in overcoming the limits of incremental knowledge accumulation and cognitive overload. This insight invites a renewed philosophical reflection on the generative conditions and ontological foundations of human consciousness in the age of AI.
