The philosophy of scientific practice in naturalist thought: Its approaches and problems
Frontiers of Philosophy in China 4 (4):589-603 (2009)
| Abstract | It is the continuity between epistemology and empirical science that the naturalism in contemporary philosophy of science emphasizes. After its individual and social dimensions, the philosophy of scientific practice takes a stand on naturalism in order to observe complex scientific activities through practice. However, regarding the naturalism’s problem of normativity, the philosophy of scientific practice today has deconstructed more than it has constructed. | |||||||||
