摘要
科学知识社会学对科学和科学主义的消解,主要采取三种路径:一是认识论和方法论上的相对主义和建构主义;二是实验室研究和文本分析;三是对科学争论的社会性解释。科学知识社会学在社会语境下重新审视科学和科学主义,认为形成科学的诸多要素都包含社会性因素,如信念、研究传统、实验室、科学争论等。由此,它彻底消解了科学的客观性基础,进而把科学看作一种社会建构的产物。这种对科学的相对化的解释,成为当前理解科学和科学主义的一种独特视角。
The sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) dispels science and scientism by three approaches, i.e. relativism and constructivism in epistemology and methodology, research in the laboratory and textual analysis, and social interpretation of debates in science. SSK scholars reexamine science and scientism in social contexts and assert that many components of science are in fact social elements, such as beliefs, research traditions, laboratories, scientific debates, etc. Thus SSK dispels the objective foundation of science and regards science as a product of social construction. This relativistic interpretation of science has now become a unique perspective for the understanding of science and scientism.
