“库恩损失”的辩证意蕴及其现实意义

The Dialectical Implication and Practical Significance of "Kuhn Loss"

"库恩损失"是库恩科学发展观中的重要观点之一。它告诉人们:科学革命意味着新理论取代旧理论,但新理论并非在所有方面都比旧理论优越,而是有所不及,即存在某些方面的损失。这一观点揭示出了科学发展中得与失、进与退、对与错、成与败等方面的辩证法。认识到这一点,对于人们在新旧理论间进行恰当的评价和选择,推动科学健康的发展,具有重要意义。

″ Kuhn loss″ is an important view of Kuhn＆#39;s scientific development,which tells people：scientific revolution means that the new theory replaces the old one,but the new theory is not superior to the old in all aspects,but has less,that is：some loss appeared in the process of this replacement. This view reveals the dialectics of the gain and the loss,the advance and the retreat,the right and the wrong,the success and the failure in the process of scientific development. It is a great significance for people to realize it when they make the proper evaluation and choice between the new and the old theory so as to promote healthy development of the science.
