必要的反思--论历境主义及其中国问题群

历境主义是科技史研究领域中后起的一种研究模式,源自西方的科学知识社会学和历史社会学。由于西方的历境主义论域主要集中在19、20世纪的科技史,故而其既有的经验可能不完全适合于中国史境中的中国问题。这就首先需要我们在理论上,尤其在哲学认识论和语言哲学层面上,对历境主义展开必要的反思性分析,为建构中国历境主义理论做准备。

A necessary reflection--On the contextualism and its Chinese problematics

The contextualism in the research field of the history of science and technology is a model of new arrival. But the experience from accomplished research may not directly suit the special Chinese problems in Chinese context because it focuses on the history of science and technology in 19^th and 20^th centuries in west. Therefore, first we need a necessary reflective analysis of the contextualism from theory, especially from epistemology and philosophy of language, in order to construct the Chinese contextualist theory.
