地方性知识标准化过程的探究——琼·藤村关于癌症科学标准化过程的解读

An Investigation into the Standardization Process of Regional Knowledge——Joan H.Fujimura's Interpretation of the Standardization Process of Cancer Science

科学实践哲学认为科学知识本性是地方性的,根本就不存在普遍性的科学知识。所谓普遍性知识是知识标准化的结果。那么科学知识是如何被标准化成今天大众所理解的科学知识呢?美籍科学哲学家琼.藤村通过深入癌症科学研究实验室的实证研究工作,描述了科学地方性知识的标准化过程,有力地支持了科学实践哲学关于科学知识从始至终就是地方性知识的观点。

The scientific practice philosophy believes that scientific knowledge is essentially regional and there is no universal scientific knowledge at all. The so called universal knowledge is actually the result of standardization of knowledge. Then, how is scientific knowledge standardized into that of common people＇s understanding today？ The American scientific philosopher Joan H. Fujimura,through his thorough empiri- cal study in the cancer scientific research laboratory, describes the standardization process of regional scientific knowledge, which effectively supports the viewpoint of the scientific practice philosophy that the scientific knowledge, from start to finish, is regional.
