題目是亂寫的,看起來不會那麼無趣 一、科學的邊界問題 首先,我隻是一個被物理係拒收,不是很情願(但卻很幸運的外打正著)地跑去學社會科學的傢夥。所以我對科學、科學傢和科學研究活動並沒有什麼發錶意見的資格,在此我隻能本著對科學精神的敬畏與嚮往描述下我感知到...
評分1 歸納主義 眼見為實 經驗歸納的事實就是科學 (但事實不代錶真相) 2 否證主義 可以校驗是否正確的纔是科學(但錯瞭也許隻是當時科學水平不夠) 3 結構科學觀 科學是圍繞一個範式體係運作的(但太強調範式的重要性) 4 貝葉斯主義 科學不是絕對的東西 可以計算概率 對錯都有可...
評分如果我告訴你,自由落體定理按照一般的想法,在邏輯上正確的可能性是零,你會怎麼想? 普遍的觀點是:因為見到任何東西都在下落時都具有幾乎相同的運動性質,牛頓通過實驗排除其他乾擾因素(比如空氣阻力等等),歸納齣自由落體定律,並進一步算齣自由落體常數,也就是g=9.8 N...

評分科學哲學是對科學活動的反思。科學依賴於歸納,然而歸納雖然是實用的但是是不可靠的。然後有瞭波普爾的證僞主義,庫恩的範式革命,拉卡托斯的研究綱領等等流派。 證僞主義的思路其實很簡單,也很重要,是判定科學性的一個判據。就是看理論是否可能提齣反例來,就是不能證僞的...
