“后真理”、对称性与反科学

“Post-truth”,Symmetry and Anti-science

"后真理"是一种"个人信念比科学事实更具说服力"的怪象,"后真理"与SSK的对称性原则联手,就会在"认知平等与民主化科学"的幌子下,让伪科学与政治派别或利益集团之间形成强大的反科学同盟,从内容与体制上诋毁科学。这种诋毁不可能产生真正的认知平等,因为科学的本质是以事实为依据,这是认知平等的先决条件。"后真理"现象反映出在哲学上重审划界问题的重要性与迫切性。

"Post-truth"is a strange phenomenon that"personal beliefs are more convincing than scientific facts"."Post-truth"joins with the symmetry principle of SSK to form a strong anti-scientific alliance between pseudoscience and political factions or interest groups,which is under the cover of"Cognitive Equality and democratized Science". And they denigrate science in content and system. This denigration cannot lead to real cognitive equality,since the nature of science is based on facts,which is a prerequisite for cognitive equality. The " Post-truth" phenomenon reflects the importance and urgency of the philosophical reexamination of the demarcation problem.
