后现代社会的科学与宗教

Science and Religon on the Perspective of Post-modernism

所有的知识都是叙事知识,也都是地方性知识。后现代主义可以定义为"对宏大叙事的消解",因此,在后现代的世界里,知识的合法性成为一个问题。地方性知识由于强调知识的生成与辩护都具有地方性特征,因而最终也无法超越文化相对主义的怪圈。从理论立场上说,本文认为一种"温和的相对主义"立场是可取的,它既充分尊重每个民族的文化的多元性与特殊性,又强调各个民族文化相互交流的可能性与必要性,在参与、分享的过程中达到相互的理解与认同。

All knowledge belongs to narrative knowledge,and also local knowledge. Post- modernism can be defined as＂elimination of grand narrative＂,so in the world of post- modernism,validity of knowledge has become an issue. Local knowledge emphasizes that generation and justification of knowledge has its local features,so it has no way to surpass the strange sphere of cultural relativism. Theoretically,in this article,the author believes that the standpoint of＂moderate relativism＂is advisable,which,not only sufficiently respects cultural diversification and particularity of each nation,but emphasizes possibility and necessity of culturally mutual communication of all nations,which attains mutual understanding and recognition during participation and share.
