从“两类物质世界”出发看工程知识——工程知识论研究之一

The Theory of Engineering Knowledge Based on the Two Kinds of Material World View:One of the Series of Papers on Engineering Knowledge

工程知识是不同于科学知识的一个独立的知识类型和知识形态,它是工程知识论的基本研究对象。工程知识和科学知识是不同类型的知识。认识工程知识可有两个进路,而其关键点则是从"两类物质世界"出发看工程知识。波普尔的世界1可以进一步划分为两类物质世界——天然物理世界和人工物世界,后者是"有知识内蕴其中"和"依赖于人类认识而存在"的物质世界。两类物质世界分别与科学知识和工程知识存在着重要而紧密的联系。

As an independent type of knowledge and the main research object of theory of engineering knowledge,engineering knowledge is a type of knowledge different from scientific knowledge. There are two approaches to interpreting and studying engineering knowledge. The key point of research is the study of engineering knowledge based on the view of two material worlds. World 1 proposed by Karl Popper can be divided into two Worlds： the natural world and the world of artifacts. The latter is a world which depends on human knowing and inside which there is human knowledge. The two worlds are closely related to scientific knowledge and engineering knowledge respectively.
