论方法论的相对主义的不可能性

Impracticality of Methodological Relativism

科学知识社会学的"强纲领"坚持一种认识论的相对主义立场,这一立场受到学派外部的激烈批评。作为该学派代表人物之一的科林斯也认为,认识论意义上的相对主义是不能成立的。他尝试对这种相对主义进行修正,提出了"相对主义的经验纲领",主张一种方法论的相对主义。从康德认识论思想出发的考察表明,科林斯所主张的方法论上的相对主义也是不能成立的。

The ＂strong program＂ in sociology of scientific knowledge adheres to a position of epistemological relativism, this position is subject to fierce criticisms from outside this school. Collins School, a representative of this school also believes that the epistemological relativity represents a relativism of methodology. Research starting from the Kantian epistemological thought indicates that the methodological relativism advocated by Collins relativism is ungrounded.
