摘要
从亨佩尔开始,人们就把解释和Why-问题紧密的联系起来,其实解释不能简单地看成对Why-问题的回答,Why-问题也需要进一步的阐释。我们尝试对Why-问题的两种不同的分析方法———命题理论和对照理论进行阐释和评论,揭示两种方法的同异之处。基于学术界普遍认为对照理论优于命题理论的状况,本文着力反驳了对照理论,得出了对照理论未必优于命题理论的结论。
From C. G. Hempel, we have related closely Why- question and scientific explanation. In fact, we cannot simply regard scientific explanation as the answer to the Why - question. Why - question also needs further interpret. We attempt to compare the two analytic methods to Why - question, propositional theory and contrast theory, in order to disclose the different of them. Based on the popular viewpoint, they think contrast theory is better than propositional theory. We draw the conclusion through refuting the contrast theory：the contrast theory is not too good yet.
