近代物理学革命中的问题还原

Problem Reductions in the Revolution of Neoteric Physics

问题还原是当前科学哲学研究的一个新问题。文章梳理了近代物理学革命中的一些典型问题还原案例,从而为问题还原的现实存在提供了新的案例支撑。同时,凭借这种案例分析,笔者认为问题还原与科学革命其实各属不同的范畴,但二者本质上并不绝对是互斥。

Problem reduction(PR) is a new topic in the philosophy of science.In the paper,the paper tries to show that there are some classical PR cases in the revolution of neoteric physics,and by those cases,the paper argues the existence of PR can be verified.Moreover,on the basis of those cases analysis,the paper rejects the widespread view that the relationship between problem reduction and science revolution are mutually exclusive.
