物理主义：从方法到理论

从近代科学诞生以来,物理主义学说一直和实证主义思潮交织在一起,它们相互渗透、互为表里。在现代科学革命的巨大影响下,物理主义首先作为方法论体系独立开来,并且和逻辑实证主义思潮紧密相关。物理主义方法论在社会科学中的滥觞引发了广泛的科学主义争论。但是,随着当代认知科学的深入发展,物理主义正经历着从方法体系到本体理论的自我转换。而无论如何,科学逻辑是物理主义发展的重要基础和核心理念。

Physicalism: from the Methodology to the Ontology

The doctrine of physicalism has almost and always been interweaving with the movement of positivism since the birthday of classical science.They penetrate and relate with each other along the growing routine.Under the large influence of the modern scientific revolution,the theory of physicalism was at last independent as a methodological system,and it correlate with logical positivism closely.As all seen and known,the abuse of this methodology in the study-field of social sciences initiate far and wide dispute about Scientism.But the deep development of contemporary cognitive sciences makes physicalism disintegrate or grow up from the methodological form to the ontological theory.And by all manner of means,the logic of science is always the hard-core and the intrinsic essence of the progress of physicalism.
