库恩的“范式”与理论创新

Cohen's paradigm and groundbreaking theory

库恩在《科学革命的结构》一书中,通过对逻辑经验主义和波普尔证伪主义的批判,提出了一种以"不可通约"的"范式"为核心概念的新的科学革命模式,描绘出了一幅基于范式及其变革的既区别于逻辑经验主义"逐步累积式",又不同于批判理性主义"不断革命式"的科学发展动态图景。这为我们深入研究理论创新的机理提供了一种可贵的思想资源。

In his book Revolution in Science, Cohen presents a new science revolution model, which is based on a non-generic paradigm. His model provides a new description of the scientific development trend which differs from the accumulation model or the continuing revolution model. His model thus provides a new thinking on the indepth exploration of the mechanism for creative theories.
