论波普尔对"休谟问题"的解决及其理论效用

波普尔把休谟问题界定为归纳逻辑是否得到证明,或者在什么条件下得到证明的问题.他在解决休谟问题的过程中发现,归纳逻辑是在任何条件下都不可被证明为有效的问题,归纳逻辑的问题根本不存在.这确立了波普尔的反归纳立场.而这种在解决休谟问题过程中衍生的反归纳立场,正是波普尔确立"可证伪性"划界标准及其整个科学哲学体系的逻辑前提.可以说其整个科学哲学体系就是从中逻辑地演绎出来的.因此讨论波普尔对休谟问题的解决,对于理解波普尔的反归纳立场及其理论效用是很有帮助的.

Resolution to Hume problems by Popper and its theoretical effect

Popper defined Hume problems as that whether the inductive logic can be verified or on what conditions can it be verified. He discovered that inductive logic can be proved to be a valid problem on no condition and inductive logic doesn't exist at all during the process of solving Hume problems. This view confirms his position of anti-induction, which formed the premise of establishing his delimitative criterion of falsification as well as his whole scientific philosophy system. It can be said that his whole scientific philosophy system is deduced from it. This article reviews Popper's anti-induction ideas and its theoretical effect by analyzing his resolution to Hume problems.
