我们进行科学哲学史研究的一个基本前提是,在考察科学哲学史研究现状的基础上,确立科学哲学史研究从何时算起的问题。在现有的文献中,对这一问题有五种不同的理解。其中,比较普遍的理解是把科学哲学史与哲学史、科学史甚至逻辑学史和方法论史混同起来。对于历史学家来说,对这个问题的回答应该是历史研究的结论,而不是先验推理的结果。回答这个问题需要考虑三个要素:一是科学已经发展到能够对人类的生活与实践产生影响的程度;二是哲学家有兴趣对作为一个整体的科学作出哲学反思,并有能力提出对科学哲学进行思考的某些基本范畴与概念体系;三是哲学家能够对科学进行全方位的真正的哲学反思。据此,我们得出科学哲学史研究的起点应该从康德开始的结论。
One of the basic prerequisites for our study of the history of philosophy of science is to establish when the study of the history of philosophy of science should be started on the basis of reviewing the current research on the history of philosophy of science. There are five different understandings of this issue in the current literature. Among them, the more common understanding is to confuse the history of philosophy of science with the history of philosophy, history of science and even history of logic and methodology. For historians, the answer to this question should be the conclusion of historical research, not the result of a priori reasoning. There are three elements to consider in answering this question: First, science has developed to the extent that it can affect human life and practice. Second, philosophers are interested in philosophically reflecting on science as a whole and have the ability to put forward scientific philosophy Some fundamental categories and conceptual systems for thinking; and third, philosophers can conduct a full range of true philosophical reflections on science. Accordingly, we come to the conclusion that the starting point of the history of philosophy of science should start from Kant.
