科学知识地方性的当代求索

A Contemporary Exploration into the Endemicity of Scientific Knowledge

人类对知识本性的反思和追问日趋增多,对科学知识的探求逐渐从普适性向地方性转变。为恢复科学知识的社会维度和人类维度,科学知识社会学、科学实践哲学等学科注重从社会认知的角度分析知识产生的地方性问题,但在科学(知识)统一性的问题上也因知识所具有的地方性特征而面临多方面的挑战。

While humans are increasingly curious about the nature of knowledge,they have shifted their attention from universality of scientific knowledge to its endemicity. To restore the social and anthropological dimensions of scientific knowledge,disciplines such as Sociology of Scientific Knowledge （SSK） and Philosophy of Scientific Practice （PSP） tend to analyze the endemic problems from the perspective of social cognition. However,as far as the unity of scientific knowledge is concerned,multiple challenges are posed by the endemicity of knowledge.
