论科学的社会语境

科学是人类社会的产物。反过来 ,是社会造就了科学。本文运用语境分析方法 ,将科学当作一个“文本” ,放到它赖以生长和存在的社会“语境”中去考察 ,提出了“社会语境”的概念。这样 ,科学与社会的关系就是文本与其语境的关系。在此基础上 ,着重对“社会语境”的涵义、结构、性质和功能做了进一步的探究。

On the Social Context of Science

Nominally, science comes from society and actually it is society that makes science. By using the methodology of context analysis in this paper, science is regarded as a "text" while society as the "context". In this way, the relationship between the two is elucidated. Furthermore, it probes the meaning structure, characters and functions of science's social context.
