作为研究方法的计算哲学

Computational Philosophy as a Research Methodology

目前,计算哲学主要通过计算建模进行模型模拟,这提供了一些新的、补充性的哲学研究方法。然而,计算哲学这一新领域引起了哲学研究内部和外部的争议。通过理解科学合作中哲学问题的计算模拟进路的例子可以发现,对于计算哲学的争议,往往是同模型模拟方法自身的问题相混淆所致。计算哲学具有双重认知价值:促进理解复杂现实问题背后的社会机制、启发模型模拟在方法上做出改进。

Currentlyc,omputational philosophy primarily employscomputationalmodelingfor simulation,offering novel and supplementary methods for philosophical inquiry.However,this nascent field has sparked debates both within and outside philosophical research.An examination of computational simulations of philosophical issues in scientific collaboration reveals that the controversies surrounding computational philosophy often stem from confusions with the problems inherent in the simulation models themselves.Computational philosophy holds dual cognitive value:it facilitates an understanding of the social mechanisms behind complex realworld issues and inspires methodological improvements in model simulation.
