科学理论是真的吗？- Michela Massimi

在本模块中，我们将探索现代科学哲学中一项正在进行的中心辩论：科学理论是否真实。或者，更确切地说，科学理论是否需要是真实的才是好的。这个问题的答案主要有两种。科学实在论者认为，理论要想站得住脚，就应当是真实的。我们将分析他们关于此主张的主要论证（该论证名为“无奇迹论证”）以及反驳该论点的杰出观点。而科学反实在论则坚决主张，“真理”毫无特殊之处，他们认为不依靠真理也可以解释科学理论和科学进展。本节课旨在介绍这两种观点及其主要论证和前景。

Hi, I'm Michela Massimi and

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy Science in the School of Philosophy,

Psychology, and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.

Today I find myself at the National Museum of Scotland to introduce you to

one of the most lively debates in contemporary philosophy of science.

The debate between scientific realism and anti-realism.

This debate is unlike many others that popular philosophy or science.

It is not a debate about a specific topic or theme or theory in physics,

biology or cognitive science.

But it is a much broader debate about what science is all about and

what we should expect from good science.

In other words this is a debate about the aims of science.

With all the intuitions about what the aims of science are,

there seems to be two possible views.

On one view science aims to be accurate to provide us with a good description and

analysis of the available experimental evidence even

in the field of inquiry that is.

In other words, we make spec signs to save the phenomenon.

On a different view, we make spec signs, not just to save the phenomenon, but

to provide us with the true story about this phenomenon.

How they go about what sort of a mechanism when involved in their production.

And often telling a true story involves appear to unobservable entities.

Entities that prove elusive to the human eye like neutrinos,

protons, DNA strands and so forth.

So what do you think?

Science saving the phenomena or

the science giving a true story about this phenomena?

Well, depending on how you answer the question,

you will be siding either with scientific anti-realism or scientific realism.

In the rest of this lecture, I will introduce you to these two main views very

briefly and to some of the main arguments and counter-arguments.

Asking what the aims of science are may sound armchair philosophy, but it's not.

This is essential question that has shaped the course of western science and

has fueled some of the most important debate in our cultural history.

Our story begins several centuries before Galileo and Newton.
