经验、理论与整体主义——兼与柯志阳先生商榷

Experience,Theory and Holism

本文通过对“反经验主义悖论”的分析,指出经验与理论都是认识活动中不可或缺的组成部分,经验是可错的,具有社会性。无论是经验还是理论,都不具有独立自足的地位,都无法充当认识活动的牢固基础。理论在认识活动中可以促进经验的产生,帮助塑造经验以及对经验进行解释,基础主义应该为整体主义所取代。

The paper claimed that experience and theory are both essential parts in human cognitive action, neither experience nor theory is independent and self- sufficient is social and mistakable, it can serve as reliable foundation for human cognition, theory can stimulate producing of experience, help found experience and explain experience, foundationalism should be replaced by holism.
