论科学发现的社会因素

Social Factors for Scientific Discoveries

分析科学发现不能仅限于它的逻辑方面和心理方面,还要从社会学方面考察。影响科学发现的社 会因素主要有科学发现的社会环境、社会承认、社会评价。社会环境是科学发现的社会驱动力,社会承认是科 学发现得以存在的前提,社会评价是科学发现得以发展的保证。

Analysis on scientific discoveries should not be limited in the light of logical and psychological studies, but should also be studied from the aspect of sociology. That is because some social factors, such as social environment, social acknowledgement and social evaluation, all have their impacts on scientific discoveries. Precisely speaking, social environment is the social drive, social acknowledgement is the premise, and social evaluation is the guarantee.
