因果原理的石里克解

寻求事物之间的因果联系是自然科学家进行科学研究的基本信念之一,但哲学家的任务在于探寻因果原理的形而上学基础及关于它的最深刻意义.本文详细评析了石里克对因果原理的基本观点,他认为不存在单独的因果律,因果联系只蕴涵于表示自然律的数学函数中.建立在人们能够对量值进行准确测量假设之上的传统因果原理,在理论上是自我矛盾的.统计的研究方法似乎为传统因果原理走出困境找到了出路,要想根本摆脱传统因果原理的困境,只有放弃传统因果原理的绝对真实性而满足于概率性的预测.

Schlick's Causation - Foot

Seeking causation between objects is one of the basic believes when scientists studying. Exploring metaphysical base of the law of causation and revealing the deepest meaning is the main work of philosophers. The paper labors Schlick's opinion on the law of causation. Schlick considers there isn't the separate law of causation, causation embedded in the mathematical functions expressing the law of nature. The traditional law of causation is based on the hypothesis of man being able to well and truly measure Quantities and value and self-contradictory in theory. Statistic method apparently finds an outlet for the traditional law of causation. If we want to get out the predicament, we must surrender absolute authenticity of the traditional law and satisfy probably forecast.
