论石里克的因果观

On Schlick's Causation View

追寻事物间的因果联系一直是人类不倦探求自然奥秘的基本心理动因之一。通过分析石里克关于经典物理学中的因果原理,统计研究中的因果关系,新物理学(量子理论)中的因果性的论述,最后得出现代科学必须放弃因果原理的绝对真实性而只能满足于概率性的预测这一结论,然后给予简单评述。

Seeking the causation between things has been one of basic motivations with which mankind tirelessly investigate the natural mystery. After analysing Schlick＇s opinion on causation principle in the classical physics, causation in the statistics research, causation in new physics （the quantum theory）, this paper draws the conclusion with a brief review that modern science must abandon the absolute reliability of the causation principle but be satisfied with probability forecast.
