摘要
肖显静教授的近著是一部"史哲兼修"的学术大作.只有在合理地理解科学史与科学哲学之间的关系后,才能正确地评价其研究的合法性和学术贡献.从麦克马林提供的概念资源出发,肖著可以被理解为一种"外在科学哲学".这一研究进路所依赖的理论概念,即"大写的科学革命"与"小写的科学革命"及其之间的关系,存在着值得商榷和修补的地方.
Abstract
Prof.Xiao Xianjing's recent work is an ambitious attempt to combine history and philosophy of science.Only when we arrive at a rational un-derstanding on the relationship between history of science and philosophy of science,can we appropriately appreciate its academic legitimacy and contribu-tion.Using the conceptual resources of Eman McMullin,we can take Prof.Xiao's work as a version of"external philosophy of science".Besides,the basic concepts of this approach,particularly"the uppercase Scientific Revolution","the lowercase Scientific Revolution"and their relationship,need to be clarified or modified in order to avoid ambiguity.
