【摘要】 范·弗拉森在20世纪哲学发展的进程中试图通过建构经验论这一反实在论思想来推进科学哲学的转向,使真理观能够摆脱传统经验主义和实在论所崇尚的基础主义、理性主义和本质主义的束缚,从而为经验适当性真理观营造一个以观察为基础、以语境为基点、以概率论为特征,语形、语义和语用相统一的具有后现代特征的文化空间。当然他的这一努力并不是完美无缺的,它本身所具有的折衷性是不容忽视的,他在拒斥基础主义的同时,又将可观察性作为理论的立足点,这是他的真理理论所不能解决的悖论,同时作为其理论基点的概率论和语境论也存在问题。所以,建构经验主义的真理观只能沦为真理理论研究的一个启发纲领,而不可能像范·弗拉森自己所说的那样成为全面替代科学实在论的全新真理观。本文试图通过分析范·弗拉森真理观的三大基石,即可观察性、模态概率理论和语境论,指出经验适当性真理观的独特之处和启发意义,并站在协调论的立场对他的真理观的这三个基础进行分析,找出其症结所在,最终结合有关中西方真理理论的研究历史及趋势,进一步论证:理论的真理性在于理论具有一定的协调力,凡是协调的就是合理的;科学的进步在于理论协调力的不断增强;理论的真理性在于理论具有较强的协调力,一个理论,它的协调力越强,越进步,就越具有真理性。[1]

【Abstract】 Van Fraassen attempted to use the constructive empiricism, which belongs to the counter- realism, to advance the development of philosophy of science in the process of 20th century. He tries to make the truth theory get rid of the bounds of the foundation principle, the rationalism and the essential principle, which is advocated by the traditional empiricism and the realism. He takes the observation as the foundation, the linguistic environment as the basic point, the theory of probability as the characteristic, to make a postmodern cultural space, which unify the language shape, the semantics and the language uses together, for Empirically Adequate Truth Theory,But it is not perfect for his effort, the theory has the compromise that is not allowed to neglect. There is also another paradox that his truth theory will not be able to solve, that is, he takes the observation theory as the standpoint when he repels the foundation principle. At the same time, there are also some problems with the theory of probability and the linguistic environment which he takes as the base for his theory.Therefore, the truth theory of the constructive empiricism only can be taken as an inspiration guiding principle of the research of the truth, it is impossible to become the comprehensive substitutive theory of the scientific realism’s truth view, as Van Fraassen has said.This article attempts to find the Empirically Adequate Truth Theory’s unique place and the inspiration significance, by analyzing the three cornerstones of Van Fraassen’s theory. Finally, I put my view on concert force, considering the history of the west truth theory and the new tendency of the truth theory, and try to point out that: The truthfulness of a theory depends on its concert force, and it is more reasonable which has more concert force.
