【摘要】 本文认为胡塞尔的现象学哲学、马休斯的哲学思想、莱纳赫的历史观以及迪昂的科学思想史思想是柯瓦雷科学哲学思想的主要理论来源,而“人类思想的统一性”信念则是其主要支撑。柯瓦雷以这一信念为基础,结合科学发展的具体史实深入开展科学哲学的研究,在科学本质、科学进步以及科学革命等问题上提出了科学是“通往真理的旅程”,科学进步表现为对于真理的无止境的探求,“思想实验”是一种新的思想观念的建构,科学革命是一种观念上的漫长变革过程等富有独创性的思想,构建了较为完备的科学哲学思想体系。柯瓦雷的科学哲学思想直接促成了逻辑实证主义向历史主义的转变,对于我国科学哲学的建构与发展、科学的发展与进步具有重要的启示意义。

【Abstract】 In the foreign academe the researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy were more centralized on the comparison in the research method of science history between Koyr′e and Starton,Merton,only some papers and works that were written by the scientific philosophers such as Kuhn,Lakatos,Shapin,Cohen,Feyerabend etc.came down to a part of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy, the monograph about it is few. In the domestic academe the researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy were also very weak, the research achievements were less. Anyway , in the foreign and domestic academes the researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy were neither systemic nor embedded.This dissertation’s innovations lie in making a more systemic and embedded research into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy, concretely include some nether aspects:Ⅰthinking that Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy is rich and colorful with his thought of history of science, and it is more profound and particular comparing with the contemporary scientific philosophy on the opinions about the essence of science, the progress of science and the revolution of science etc;Ⅱhome probing into the main theoretic sources of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy and its faith basis;Ⅲmore integrally exhibiting the system of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy and thinking that Koyr′e takes“the oneness of mankind’s thought”as its faith support, takes the thought and method of thought history of science as its guidance, takes the particular viewpoints about the essence of science, the progress of science and the revolution of science as its core contents combining with the concrete historical facts of the development of science, and constructs a more self-contained thought system of scientific philosophy;Ⅳprobing into the historical status of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy and its realistic revelatory signification to our country. This dissertation thinks that Husserl’s Philosophy of Phenomenology, Martius’s thought of philosophy, Reinach’s viewpoint of history and Duhem’s thought of thought history of science are the main theoretical sources of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy ,and“the oneness of mankind’s thought”is its main support. Koyr′e deeply researches scientific philosophy based on this faith,combining with the concrete historical facts of the development of science, and puts forward these Promethean thoughts such as science is“the trip to truth”, the progress of science represents as the everlasting hunting for truth,“thought experiment”is a construction of the new thought and idea, the revolution of science is a far-flung course of idea transformation etc about the essence of science, the progress of science and the revolution of science ctc and constructs a more self-contained thought system of scientific philosophy. Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy directly caused the change from Logic Positivism to Historicism, and have the important revelatory signification to the construction and the development of scientific philosophy ,the development and the progress of science in our country.In the student age Koyr′e was taught by lots of the famous teachers and influenced by them, such as Hilber,Brunschvicg,Husserl,Meyerson,Martius,Reinach etc.After he entered the research realm of history of science thought, he was deeply influenced by Duhem who was the forerunner in history of science thought again. Thereinto, the theory of“life world”and the criticism to the science viewpoint of Positivism in Husserl’s Philosophy of Phenomenology, Martius’s thought about combing the Christian tradition with science thought to research the philosophical problems, Reinach’s thought about emphasizing researches into the thought of thought history of science through historical method ,and Duhem’s thought of science thought history deepest influenced Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy ,and become its main theoretical sources.Koyr′e’s makes a research into scientific philosophy with a firm faith, namely,“the oneness of mankind’s thought”.According to Koyr′e, it is not imaginable for science to leave philosophy, metaphysics, indeed religion, they touch and influence each other, sometime also represent as each other’s confrontation. Koyr′e’formed the faith of“the oneness of mankind’s thought”based on his deep research into history of science thought, this faith is also proved by the historical facts of history of science thought and its key content is the thought about the mutual pervasion between religion and science. In fact, Koyr′e himself prongs the faith in his researches into history of science thought, scientific philosophy all the time. For example, in his main works the faith incarnates everywhere. So, some scholars’query about“Koyr′e having not incarnated the faith of‘the oneness of mankind’s thought’all along”is groundless.One of the basic contents of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy is the thoughts of the essence of science and the progress of science. The problems of the essence of science and the progress of science are Logical Positivism and Falsificationism’s classical fields and also Koyr′e’s focus. Basing on sublating the science viewpoint of Logical Positivism and Falsificationism, Koyr′e gives his comprehension of the essence of science, namely, science is not to possess truth but“the trip to truth”, science is a particular method of mankind’s hunting for truth, it itself can depend on its power to correct the error;the research of scientific philosophy should take the revelation of the progres of science as its theme,the progress of science doesn’t mean that truth which is constructed unambiguously strides one-step to other unambiguous discoveries, but represents as the everlasting hunting for truth; science is progressive in the error, and developing in the failure. Therefore, it is coequally important to research the failure and the success in science.The second basic content of Koyr′e’s thoughts of scientific philosophy is the thoughts of“thought experiment”and the revolution of science.“thought experiment”of science and the revolution of science are the most characteristic important aspects of Koyr′e’s thoughts of scientific philosophy. In Koyr′e’s opinion,“thought experiment”is an important research method of science, and is still a construction of the new thought and idea, it plays a key role in the science discovery. And the success of“thought experiment”represent as the rise of the revolution of science, the revolution of science is a far-flung course of idea transformation. Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy in the course of the change from Logic Positivism to Historicism plays a very important role.Contemporary western scientific philosophy has undergone two important changes ,thereinto, the influence of the change from Logic Positivism to Historicism is the most. There are many factors which caused the important change of Contemporary western scientific philosophy, but Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy is without fail an important factor which implements the change. Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy directly caused the growing up of Historicism.Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy takes“the oneness of mankind’s thought”as its faith support,annotates the huge function of science and philosophy which are the two highest wisdom of mankind in science history of mankind and the mutual relation between them, fully brings forth the internal power of thought of scientific philosophy.Besides the basic characteristic,namely taking the faith of“the oneness of mankind’s thought”as its support, Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy still has two basic characteristics, namely,it is based on history of science,and emphasizes the notional analytical method. The three basic characteristics of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy make it differentiate from other thoughs of scientific philosophy definitely,and also establish its important status in the development history of scientific philosophy.The thought of the whole of science, the method of history of science thought, the thought of“thought experiment”, and the thought of the revolution of science so on in Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy have the important revelatory signification to the construction and the development of scientific philosophy ,the development and the progress of science in our country.Still, this dissertation’s researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy also must be more perfected, though this dissertation makes a more systemic researches into the theoretic source, the faith basis, the basic content and the historical status, the contemporary value of Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy, only refers to the main aspects of his thoughts of scientific philosophy, other aspects such as Koyr′e’s reflections on the revolution of science and“thought experiment”etc in his late years have not been deep researched, the method of his thought of scientific philosophy is less involved. These problems without question need be ceaselessly solved by us in the research for the future. This dissertation’s researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy is just the beginning of a tentative research. With Koyr′e’s research date continuously introduced into and the translation exact, the researches into Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy will be continually rich and deep, the last research will also prove that Koyr′e’s thought of scientific philosophy is as glamorous as his thought of history of science thought.
