摘要
对于科学究竟是什么这个问题,实证主义的科学观和建构主义科学观为我们提供了两种极端但却并不令人满意的答案。前者将科学看作按照认识论规则"发现"的真理,后者将科学看作是由利益等社会因素参与和决定的社会协商的产物。本文试图从语境主义的角度来解读科学,表明科学既不是纯粹客观意义上也非纯粹社会性的,而是自然与社会相互塑造的产物。
What is Science？ Positivism and social constructionism give us two totally different and unsatisfactory answers.The former takes science as ＂discovered truth＂ and the latter thinks science as a result which is decided by social factors such as interest and negotiation.I will inquiry what science is from the perspective of contextualism in the article.My conclusion is that science is neither objective nor constructed and science is the result of mutual shaping by nature and society.
