Semantic the semantic analysis method and the progress of scientific realism

Since the 1930s, the semantic analysis method has been of great methodological significance in the historical evolution and transmission of the philosophy of science, serving as a platform for debate, mutual reference and interpenetration between scientific realism and anti-realism. Today, in historical retrospect, we see that we need to gain a new understanding of the importance of the semantic analysis method, appreciate the fundamental nature of contextualized semantic structure in interpreting scientific theories, and make it clear that determining and expressing reference is at the heart of the semantic analysis methodology of theoretical interpretation and that ＂two-dimensional＂ semantic analysis represents a necessary trend in current research on semantic analysis methodology. On this basis, we can reestablish the methodological position of the semantic analysis method in research on scientific realism in terms of form, content, structure and system, an achievement that will be of great strategic significance for the development of contemporary scientific realism.

Balanced and Coordinated Development of Chemistry in China

Balanced and coordinated development of Chemistry has narrow sense and generalized com- prehension.The former only refers to the balanced layout and coordinated development among'every discipline and specialty in chemistry',and the latter taking the balanced layout of discipline as core and synthetically balancing the talent troop,the region distribution,the national strategy demand as well as the social affect and so on.At the present,the chemistry in China totally represents discipline bal- ance and coordination,and interdisciplinary is obvi- ous.

Semantic Analysis of the Theoretical Foundations of Biology

As a different type of research in the philosophy of science, biological theory has always attracted scholarly attention. One reason for this phenomenon is that it differs from the traditional scientific paradigm. To explore the root of this difference, we need to examine closely the theoretical foundations and structure of biology. The complexity of the multiple contexts and semantic structures expressed in the theoretical structure specific to biology requires that research on the theoretical foundation of biology incorporate semantic analysis. It is particularly necessary to conduct semantic decomposition of the theories themselves and study their semantic correlations. In doing so, we can discern the rationality of the biological model as a special form of scientific explanation distinct from that of physics and chemistry.
