科学分类的维度分析

A study on the classification of science by dimension

科学是一种复杂的认知现象,其分类也必然是一个复杂的系统。从科学概念本身的界定出发,运用维度分析对科学从一维到六维进行分类,同时对不同维度的科学的内容、依据、目的、意义和趋向进行深入探讨,揭示了各种维度下的科学分类形式的内在联系及其整体结构。一维分类是对"什么是科学"问题的回答,二维分类包括大小科学、软硬科学、纯粹与应用科学,三维分类通常是自然科学、社会科学和人文科学,四维分类是在三维基础上加上交叉科学,五维分类是形式科学、自然科学、技术科学、社会科学和人文学科,六维分类包括哲学、符号科学、自然科学、社会科学、精神科学和文化科学。

Starting from the definition of the science, the authors analyze the various existent classifications of science currently. By discussing the content, basis, purpose, meaning and trend of the classification of science in six dimensions in detail, the authors try to reveal the internal relations of these classifications of science and know the overall structure of the science. It will be of great benefit to us to understand the science, promoting the unity of science and predicting the future trends of science. One - dimension science answers the question of ＇ what is science＇ , two - dimension sciences include little and big science, soft and hard science as well as pure and implied science, three - dimension sciences are usually natural science, social science and literae humaniores, four - dimension sciences are the above three one and interdisciplinary, five - dimension sciences are formal science, natural science, technological science, social science and humanity, six - dimension sciences includes philosophy, symbol science, natural science, social science, spirit science and cultural science.
