Stratification and Transition:The Evolution Mechanism of Contemporary Philosophy of Science and Technology Research in China
This research conducts a statistical analysis on the authors,research institutions and other contents with the three core journals of philosophy of science and technology in the past 40 years as samples.The results show that philosophy of science and technology in China has formed a relatively stable pragmatic system in the process of inheritance and innovating,and stratification and transition present the evolution mechanism of the disci-pline.Meanwhile,there are general hierarchical structures in the development of philosophy of science and tech-nology,and there also exists the mathematical model of self-similar hierarchical structure.The way to achieve the transition in the hierarchical structure of philosophy of science and technology depends on the exploration spirit of scholars,Matthew effect in scientific research,discipline consciousness,and interdisciplinary consciousness.The interaction between different levels of philosophy of science and technology becomes the internal driving force for the evolution of the discipline.
