卡尔·波普的科学哲学对进化生物学的影响
Evaluating Karl Popper’s Philosophy of Science Influence on Evolutionary Biology
【摘要】 卡尔·波普是为数不多的对科学界有重大影响的科学哲学家之一。但是 ,他从早期到晚年的关于进化生物学的言论严重阻碍了进化生物学的发展 ,他把进化论作为一个形而上学的研究纲领导致了许多科学家对进化论的误解 ,他否认进化定律的存在从而否认了进化生物学的科学地位。同时 ,我们指出了他关于进化论的新见解并没有任何新意
【Abstract】 Karl Popper has been one of the few philosophers of sciences who have influenced scientists.I evaluate Popper’s influence on our understanding of evolutionary theory from his earliest publications to the present ones.Popper denied that there are not genuine laws of nature in evolutionary biology.Popper’s later distinction between evolutionary theory as a metaphysical research program and as s scientific theory led more than one scientist to misunderstand his position on evolutionary theory as a scientific theory.In his later work Popper also introduced what he took to be "improvements" of evolutionary theory.Thus far these improvements have had almost no influence on evolutionary biology.
【Key words】 Karl Popper; metaphysical research programs; laws; tautology; testability;
