发端于16、17世纪的现代西方科学取得了巨大成就,但从整体和前提上看,却存在一些迄今未易的教条。当代西方一些科学哲学家对之进行了深入的批判,其中谢尔德雷克的研究最具有代表性。在一系列著作中,他深入揭露了诸如“机械自然观”、“物质和能量的守恒”、“自然规律永恒不变”、“物质无意识”、“生物遗传的物质性”、“记忆是物质储存痕迹”、“心灵只存在于大脑”、“只有机械医学才有效”等广泛存在于当代西方科学共同体内的教条。在此基础上,本文认为这些教条形成的根源在于:西方特定文化传统的孕育、现代科学自身的特质、“科学世界观”对宗教的竞争优势及其与世俗现代性的共谋等。
Great achievements have been made in the modern western sciences that originated in the 16th and 17th centuries, but on the whole and premise, there are some dogmas that have not been easy to date. Some contemporary Western philosophers of science have conducted in-depth criticism of them, of which Shelley Drake’s research is the most representative. In a series of writings, he deeply exposed such as “mechanical concept of nature”, “conservation of matter and energy”, “eternal law of nature”, “material unconsciousness”, “ Materialism, ”“ memory is the traces of material storage, ”“ the mind only exists in the brain, ”and“ only the effective use of mechanical medicine ”and other dogma widely found in the contemporary Western scientific community. On this basis, this paper argues that the origin of these dogma lies in the birth of the specific cultural traditions in the West, the characteristics of modern science itself, the competitive advantages of “scientific worldview” to religion and its complicity with secular modernity.
