理性批判推动科学进步--浅探波普的科学知识增长论

如何才能促进知识的增长呢?波普强调理性的批判精神是推动科学知识增长和进步的最大动力。他认为任何理论都是一种“假设”或“猜测”,只有在反驳中才能得到进步。他提出了反归纳法、证伪原则和“猜测与反驳”的知识增长模式。他的科学方法论弥补了逻辑经验主义的某些不足,同时也带有机械性和脱离科学发展的倾向。

Spirit of Rational Criticize Helps the Progressing of Science Knowledge

How can we promote the increasing of knowledge? Mr. Popper emphasizes that the spirit of rational criticize is the most important source that helps the increasing and progressing of science knowledge. He argues that all theories are kinds of "hypothesis"that can be improved only through refuting. And so he brings forward the "anti-induction", "false-prove principle"and the increasing model of "hypothesis and disproval". His science methodology has made up some deficiencies of logic-cognitive significance. But at the same time,his theory has its deficiency of mechanism trend that breaks away with the actual development of science.
