评《论科学的本质》

Comments Regarding "On the Nature of Science"

Amy Courtney, Michael Courtney

摘要:

试图在21世纪重新定义科学(BK Jennings,On the Nature of Science,Physics in Canada,63(7)2007)抛弃了自然法和客观实在的传统概念,模糊了自然科学和自然历史之间的区别,将奥卡姆剃刀从认识论偏好提升为科学原则,提高同行评审和实验护理的平等性,可重复实验作为科学有效性的仲裁者。我们的评论回顾了科学方法的长期公理,提醒读者科学与历史之间的区别,通过反例反驳奥卡姆剃刀的普遍性,并强调接受额外的科学仲裁者等同于可重复实验的风险。

英文摘要:

An attempt to redefine science in the 21st century (BK Jennings, On the Nature of Science, Physics in Canada, 63(7) 2007) has abandoned traditional notions of natural law and objective reality, blurred the distinctions between natural science and natural history, elevated Occam's razor from an epistemological preference to a scientific principle, and elevated peer-review and experimental care as equals with repeatable experiment as arbiters of scientific validity. Our comments review the long-established axioms of the scientific method, remind readers of the distinctions between science and history, disprove the generality of Occam's razor by counter example, and highlight the risks of accepting additional scientific arbiters as equal to repeatable experiment.
