实证科学与哲学:认识论、方法论特点的比较分析

Empirical Science and Philosophy: Comparative Analysis of the Characteristics of Epistemology and Methodology

实证科学以具体性、经验性、精确性、可检验性为其认识论、方法论特点,哲学以抽象性或思辨性、丰富性或歧义性、难以检验性为其认识论、方法论特点。实证科学与哲学在认识论和方法论上由相互渗透走向辩证综合:哲学家不再贬斥科学的功利与浅薄,科学研究出现哲学化现象。于是,哲学研究科学化趋势和科学研究哲学化趋势齐长共进。

Empirical science takes concreteness, empiricism, accuracy and testability as the characteristics of its epistemology and methodology. While philosophy is featured as abstract or speculative, rich or ambiguous, it is also difficult to test. On epistemology and methodology, empirical science and philosophy are trending from mutual penetration towards dialectical synthesis： philosophers no longer denounce the utilitarianism and flimsiness whereas the philosophicalization phenomenon appears in scientific research. Thus, the tendency of scientification in philosophical studies goes together with that of philosophiealization in scientific research.
