创造性研究纲领的互动路径——拉塞尔的科学与宗教方法论研究

Creativity Research Program and its Interactive Approach——Russell on Mutual Interaction Methodology of Science-Religion Relation

罗伯特·拉塞尔提出的创造性研究纲领当今科学与宗教研究领域最具建设性的创见之一。拉塞尔主要继承巴伯批判实在论类比方法的合理内核,走向互动方法;进而而发展墨菲的观点,激发科学研究纲领可以部分地根据宗教学说试验性地、假说性地产生的洞见;突破皮考克的突现认知整体主义中宗教位于层级体系顶部的局限。拉塞尔提出这种富有建设性的新型方法论,强调从科学和宗教两方面出发,走向两者的动态而又对称的互动,具有很强的现实应用性,为科学与宗教的现实互动提供了有效的指导纲领,并带来了新型的转变。

The methodology of“creative mutual interaction”(CMI), proposed by Russell, can be regarded as one of most constructive perspective in the contemporary science-religion academia. Russell mainly inherited reasonable connotations of Barbour’s analogical methodology, and then turned into an interactive methodology;then extended Murphy’s agenda to use Lakatosian methodology to inspire scientific research programs based in part on insights from theological doctrines;surmounted the constraints of Peacock’s epistemic holism of emergence. Finally, Russell stated this new kind of constructive methodology. This new one emphasizes that we should move both ways between theology and science instead of generating research just within religion in light of science. What this new transformation offers is a new direction for science-theology relation---to build a new dynamic, though asymmetric, interaction.
