作为知识和理解的科学--一个本体诠释学的诠释

Science as both Knowledge and Understanding—— An Onto-Generative Hermeneutic Interpretation

我们应当认识到,作为自然知识的科学,总是涉及诠释学的诠释问题。为了澄清关于科学及科学内部的理解,我们需要拓展诠释和理解的概念,从本体论角度发展诠释学理解。本体生成诠释学是生成本体学的展现,既在对科学的客观理解及科学知识之间,又在对道德知识的主观理解与实践理解之间显现自身。科学知识是诠释的结果,在有关自然符号的诠释学诠释中包含有三个问题:观察到理论的关系;现实主义到工具主义的关系;不确定论到确定论的关系。我们诠释自然科学的诠释学工作如同诠释人文科学的工作一样,本质上都是一种本体生成论的诠释工作,它同时需要作为知识的"理解"和用来理解的"知识"。

We have to see that science as knowledge of nature, is always involving problems of hermeneutical interpretation. In order to clarify this sense of understanding of science and in science we need to broaden our concept of interpretation and understanding, and to develop a hermeneutic understanding in an ontological sense. The onto-generative hermeneutics as a display of a generative ontology which presents itself in both objective understanding and knowledge of science and the subjective and practical understanding of knowledge in ethics. Scientific knowledge is a result of interpretation, there are specifically three issues involved in the hermeneutic interpretation of a natural sign： the relation of observation to theory, the relation of realism to instrumentation, and relation of indetermination to determination. Our hermeneutic enterprise in interpreting science like in interpreting humanities is essentially an onto-generative hermeneutic enterprise. It involves both understanding as knowledge and knowledge as understanding.
