An Analysis of the Research Outline on the History of Thought of"Great Scientific Revolutions":A Response to Wang Rongjiang,Huang Xiang,and Qi Wentao
The book A History of Scientific Thought:The Scientific Revolutions Based on the Reforms of Nature-Views and Methodologies adheres to the re-search framework of"Synthesis"rooted in the history of science,following the thread of"Reforms of Nature-Views,Innovations in Methodologies,and Scientific Revolutions",and it systematically presents"The Great Scientific Revolution(s)"of different historical stages capable of addressing"Giere's Challenge".The connotations and distinctions between"Great"and"Small"scientific revolution are clear,and their evolutionary patterns and paradigm shifts differ from Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions.The summary of"Great Scientific Revolutions"that occurred in different historical stages—"Theological Science""Philosophical Science""Mechanical Science""Organic Science"and"Local Science"—is appropriate.
