科学实在论和社会建构论共同的形而上学根基

The Common Metaphysical Ground of Scientific Realism and Social Constructivism

一直以来,科学实在论和社会建构论被认为是两种相互竞争的科学观,大多数研究都集中在两者的区别上,忽视了对两者的共同点的研究。实际上,科学实在论与社会建构论具有一些共同的形而上学根基:他们都源于对知识的有效性的追求,都认可意志自由的形而上学;都有某种预设主义和本质主义的倾向;都从表象走向了实践,等等。

Scientific realism and social constructivism had been considered as two kinds of competitive scientific view so far. Most of research had focused on their difference while overlooked their common ground. In fact, scientific realism and social constructivisrn owned some common metaphysical grounds; they all derived from the seeking for the validity of knowledge and recognized the metaphysics of mind freedom; they all have some liability of presumption and fundamentalism; and they all go along from representationalism to practice, etc.
