在准科学领域积累知识。分析哲学案例
Accumulation of Knowledge in Para-Scientific Areas. The Case of Analytic Philosophy
摘要:
本文以分析哲学为例,分析了知识的积累是如何在超科学领域发生的。分析的理论框架是库恩的规范科学理论。采用的方法是定性的引文上下文分析。本文分析了1950年至2009年间在分析哲学主要期刊上发表的60篇论文,并根据引文的认识论功能制定了一个具体的分类方案。与以往的引文语境研究相比,本文首次将时间维度纳入引文语境分析,以期更深入地了解知识积累的过程。有趣的是,研究结果表明,分析哲学在第二次世界大战后开始积累,但以一种特殊的方式。这种积累并没有相应地增加共识。这可以解释的假设,美联社经历了一个分裂的过程中,在本世纪下半叶的子领域。
英文摘要:
This study analyzes how the accumulation of knowledge takes place in para-scientific areas, focusing on the case of Analytic Philosophy. The theoretical framework chosen for the analysis is Kuhn's theory of normal science. The methodology employed is qualitative citation context analysis. A sample of 60 papers published in leading Analytic Philosophy journals between 1950 and 2009 is analyzed, and a specific classsificatory scheme is developed to classify citations according to their epistemological function. Compared to previous studies of citation context, this is the first paper that includes the temporal dimension into the analysis of citation context, in order to gain insights into the process of knowledge accumulation. Interestingly, the results show that Analytic Philosophy started accumulating after Second World War, but in a peculiar way. The accumulation was not matched by a corresponding rising consensus. This can be explained by the hypothesis that AP underwent a process of fragmentation in sub-fields during the second half of the century.
