反思物理学中心主义——从化学与物理学的科学形象之争切入

The Reflection on Physics Centrism:From the Competition of Scientific Image between Chemistry and Physics

自普朗克取得其与马赫关于科学目标争论的胜利后,物理学继续以其构建的科学形象作为科学的代言人,这一结果对二十世纪的科学发展、科学哲学以及科学教育影响深远。因此,物理学中心主义也成为影响20世纪科学哲学理论框架的重要因素之一,而这一立场由于科学哲学的新近转向以及自身竞争力的下降正逐渐遭受挑战,一种多中心主义的科学哲学或渐成气候。

Physics has taken its scientific image as the spokenman of science since Planck won the debate with Mach on the goal of science,which has a far-reaching impact on the development of science,philosophy of science,and science education in the 20 th century.Thus,physics centrism once brought profound influence to the theoretical framework of philosophy of science in the past century.However,in these days,due to the turns of philosophy of science and the decline of competitiveness of physics centrism,the position is being challenged,and a polycentric philosophy of science is on the upgrade.
