经济学研究范式可以拓展到科学哲学吗?--析科学哲学的经济学研究路径及其问题

Is the Economic Approach to Philosophy of Science Possible?

科学哲学的经济学进路是继科学社会学和科学知识社会学之后科学论新的研究方向,它以自然主义为理论基础,强调科学活动社会维度中经济运行原则的重要性,主张用经济学方法论揭示科学认识的规律与本质。但这种经济学范式介入科学哲学研究的基础还存在诸多问题,其理论主张与方法论仍是不确定性的,这源自于科学哲学的自然化解释与其规范性的张力并没有在这种新进路中得到彻底解决。

The economic approach becomes one of the most important reasonable strategies to develop philosophy of science.According to naturalized epistemology,science is a process of social activity,so we can model the behaviors of scientists in the same way of economist models.But this economic approach is not very successful yet and it has left some problematic consequences,for an inaccurate understanding of normativity and naturalism on methodology of science.
