摘要：

今天，面对充满各种可能、不确定性乃至危机的人类世时代，人类或将面临被自身造物取代的命运（譬如人工智能的高速迭代），而同为人类创造的神话和作为新神话的科幻，是否能唤起另一种超越的力量，是否可能建构起某种新的认知、思维以应对不再稳定如常的时代和未来？近日，奇幻文学作家刘宇昆和美国韦尔斯利学院教授、中国现代文学和科幻研究学者宋明炜围绕“科幻与神话 ：飞跃人类世”发表演讲。香港都会大学人文社会科学院的龚咏诗博士、郁旭映博士，南方科技大学科学与人类想象力中心访问学者三丰博士参与讨论。本刊特摘选对谈精华，以飨读者。

Abstract:

In today’s Anthropocene era, humanity may face the fate of being replaced by its own creations (such as the high-speed iteration of artificial intelligence). Can the myths created for humanity and science fiction awaken another transcendent force, and is it possible to construct some new cognitive thinking to cope with the unstable future? Recently, Liu Yukun, a renowned fantasy writer, and Song Mingwei, a professor at Wellesley College in the United States and a scholar in modern Chinese literature and science fiction, delivered speeches on “Science Fiction and Mythology: Leaping the Anthropocene”. Dr. Gong Yongshi and Dr. Yu Xuying from the School of Arts and Social Sciences of Hong Kong Metropolitan University, as well as Dr. San Feng, a visiting scholar at the Science and Human Imagination Center of the Southern University of Science and Technology, participated in the discussion. Our journal has specially selected and presented the essence of the conversation.
