“他者”眼光中的科学文化传统反思

The Introspection to the Traditional Scientific Culture in the Eyes of the "Other"

人类学一向以"他者"的眼光主导传统意义上非西方民族及其文化的研究。这种研究原本是以他者来认识他者,然而在观照他者的同时,"自我"也映现其中。就传统科学文化而言,他者的眼光不仅重新审视了西方的科学理性,加速了本质主义、普遍主义的解构,而且促成了科学哲学的人类学转向。那种把科学看作是一种文化现象,一类"地方性知识",一项"实践性"活动的观点,对传统科学文化的哲学反思,应当说是有启迪性的。

The studies on the nonwestern nation and culture have been always dominated by anthropology in the eyes of the Other.Originally,these studies are the perception between the Others,however,altered ego is also reflected in it while observation on the Other.As far as traditional scientific culture is concerned,recertification on western notonly has been done scientific rationality has been done,accelerated the deconstruction of essentialism and universalism,but also facilitated the anthropological turn for philosophy of science.Those view points what regards science as a cultural phenomen,a local knowledge and practicality activity are full of enlightenment on philosophica introspection to the traditional scientific culture.
