经验约束下能够通达实体吗——对建构的结构实在论的反思和辩护

Can We Approach to Entity on Empirical Constraints:Rethinking and Defense About Constructive Structural Realism

分析结构实在论的三个不同版本,表明建构的结构实在论是基于对前两种版本批判的基础上发展起来的。通过对科学认识中几个关键哲学概念连续性是否可能的分析,表明建构的结构实在论无法维护理论实体具有连续性的观点。然而,建构的结构实在论所提出的"经验约束"思想,以及通过结构来认识实体的辩护策略,可以一定程度上回应反实在论的挑战。

After analyzing the three versions of structural realism, this paper shows that the development of constructivestructural realism is based on criticizing epistemic structural realism and ontic structural realism.By analyzing the possibility of thecontinuity of several key philosophical concepts in scientific cognition, we think that constructive structural realism can not defendthe view that theoretical entity has continuity.However, the idea of 'empirical constraints' in constructive structural realism, and thedefense strategies of understanding entity through structure, can respond to the challenge of anti-realism in a certain extent.
