摘要
消去论认为“先天性”是源于大众生物学的概念,尽管曾推进了科学的进程,但其内涵实则混乱,如今已经阻碍到了科学的进步,故应废除其使用。消去论主张的理论支持来自混乱论证(CA论证),其中五个前提均有可质疑之处,尤其是源自大众生物学和本质主义倾向并不构成禁用先天性概念的充分理由。消去论验证了“先天性”并非一个在生物科学和认知科学通用的概念;通过了解各科学领域对先天性概念的阐释,从而对先天性概念划定使用界限,这才是胜过消去策略的更优方案。
The theory of elimination holds that“innateness”is a concept derived from folk biology.Although it has advanced the process of science,its connotation is actually confused,and now it has hindered the progress of science,so we should not use it anymore in science.The theoretical support for the elimination comes from the CA argument,in which all five premises are questionable,especially because popular biology and essentialist tendencies do not constitute sufficient grounds for banning innate concepts.The elimination theory verifies that“innateness”is not a universal concept in the biological and cognitive sciences.It is better to define the use of innate concepts by understanding how they are interpreted in various scientific fields than to eliminate strategies.
