In the process of defining the concept of editing,there has been a discussion on the concept of"two types of editing".One perspective originates from the professionalization of the publishing industry,defining editing as a product that emerges after the professionalization of editing.The other perspective,rooted in the belief that editing activities have existed since ancient times,defines editing as a cultural construction activity that has remained homogeneous throughout history.The divergence between the concepts of"two types of editing"is based on different epistemological perspectives,with the former leaning towards a constructivist epistemology and the latter adhering to an essentialist epistemology.The scientific cognition of the editing concept requires not only acknowledging the differences between these epistemologies but also a transformative shift in epistemology-a transition from"concept as a method"to"method as a concept",and from"concept as history"to"concept as practice".
