民间心理学的实在论与反实在论之争

The Debates of the Folk Psychology Between the Realist and the Anti-Realist

随着近代自然科学的发展,许多民间科学开始走向消亡.但在心理学领域,特别是在解释人们的日常行为时,民间心理学(folk psychology)依然保持着它独有的魅力。但是另一方面,科学心理学和神经科学也告诉了我们关于大脑的许多知识。这就产生了民间心理学与科学心理学之间在解释与预测人类行为上的对立。民间心理学是否应像其他民间科学那样被取消掉呢,抑或它就是我们真实的心理过程?文章将主要探讨关于这个问题哲学家们都提出了哪些理论并作出简要评价。

Many folk sciences die out because of the development of natural sciences.But folk psychology,especially in the common life,still has its special power in explaining human＇s behavior.But on the other hand,scientific psychology and neuroscience have told us much information about our brain.Then the debates about explaining and predicting human behavior between scientific and folk psychology emerge.Whether folk psychology will die out like other folk sciences,or whether it is our real mental process？ This paper will focus on the main discussions of many philosophers about this problem and then give my own opinions.
