破除偏见,触及根本:根本性的划界标准
Demolishing prejudices to get to the foundations: a criterion of demarcation for fundamentality
摘要:
在本文中,我们拒绝普遍接受的观点,在科学的基本性,无论是基于自下而上的建设或自上而下的减少,以隔离的基本实体。我们不介绍任何新的科学方法论,而是描述当前的科学方法论,并展示它如何需要对科学基础的内在探索。这是通过将(最小集合的)形而上学假设措辞成可证伪的陈述并将那些经受住经验检验的假设定义为基本假设来实现的。被证伪的概念被拒绝,相应的哲学概念被作为偏见而摧毁。此外,我们展示了这一标准在量子物理学和生物物理学中寻找基本原理的具体例子中的应用。
英文摘要:
In this paper, we reject commonly accepted views on fundamentality in science, either based on bottom-up construction or top-down reduction to isolate the alleged fundamental entities. We do not introduce any new scientific methodology, but rather describe the current scientific methodology and show how it entails an inherent search for foundations of science. This is achieved by phrasing (minimal sets of) metaphysical assumptions into falsifiable statements and define as fundamental those that survive empirical tests. The ones that are falsified are rejected, and the corresponding philosophical concept is demolished as a prejudice. Furthermore, we show the application of this criterion in concrete examples of the search for fundamentality in quantum physics and biophysics.
