科学现象的文化视角辨析

Discriminant Analysis of Science from A Cultural Perspective

现代科学作为一种具有普世价值的意义系统,它以理性为基础;文化往往与地方性、封闭性、描述性相关,一般被认为两者相却甚远。如果考虑到科学理性产生的地方性,以及客观性也是历史的产物,科学行为人为地发明创造概念工具,并赋予自然以意义等,我们有理由说,以理性思维为原则的现代科学同样具备了其特有的文化属性,而且科学家共同体是至今世界上最大的信仰共同体。本文认为,面对某一专业远不能及的问题的公共性,"科学精神的文化"视角可以让我们实现高层次的理解,从而引导科学研究的发展方向。

As a kind of universal value meaning system, modern science is based on rationality, but culture is often associated with localization, closeness and descriptiveness, so the two is generally considered apart far. When considering the localization produced by scientific rationality, historical- ness of objectivity, and scientific behaviors that artificially invent conceptual tools and that consti- tutes meaning system of relationship between people, and between people and nature, we can say that modern science is cultural facts of special value representation based on rationality, and commu- nity of scientists is the world＇s largest faith groups currently. In the face of the problems＇ publie na- ture which is far more than some subject can deal with, the perspective of scientific spirit culture al- lows us to achieve a high level of understanding, so as to guide the direction of seientific research.
