科学与人文的交融——论罗蒂的科学文化哲学

Integration of Sciences and Humanities——on Rorty's Philosophy of Science Culture

20世纪西方的学术界,英美分析哲学和欧洲大陆哲学两峰对峙,反映出科学与人文两种文化的深刻冲突。罗蒂以娴熟的分析哲学语言和深厚的哲学素养致力于弥合人文主义与科学主义之间的裂隙,他倡导族群中心主义、对话的哲学,主张以协同性诠释客观性、弱理性取代强理性,消解科学在文化中的霸主地位,模糊科学与其他文化形式之间的界限。罗蒂的科学文化哲学是一种提倡科学的人文化、人文的科学化、消除自然科学与人文科学二元对立的新型的科学文化观,他的理论对于当代语境下科学与人文的融合与统一具有积极的现实意义。

In western academia in the 20 th Century, the confrontation between British and American analytical philosophy and European Continent philosophy reflects the conflict between the culture of sciences and that of humanities. Taking full advantage of his mastery of analytical philosophical language and philosophical achievements, Richard Rorty endeavored to heal the rift between scientism and humanism. He advocated ethno-centrism and philosophy of dialogue, replacing scientific Objectivity and Rationality with solidarity and reason, so as to dethrone natural sciences as the king of culture and dissolve the boundaries between sciences and other culture. Rorty's took a new view of philosophy of science culture which encouraged the humanization of sciences and the scientization of humanities. Rorty's theory of science culture has positive practical significance on the integration of sciences and humanities in contemporary context.
