ABSTRACT

Science is a socially conditioned enterprise that strives for maximum rationality and objectivity in its explanation of the world. However, since the relativity of its social conditioning opposes its drive for objectivity, there is a philosophical tension at the very heart of science. Given this tension, why does science even work? More precisely, why does science converge to the truth rather than diverging from it? This article provides a philosophical description of this tension and a theological explanation of its happy resolution.

批判现实主义、社会建构主义和三位一体

摘要

科学是一种受社会制约的事业，它在解释世界时力求达到最大的理性和客观性。然而，由于其社会条件的相对性反对其对客观性的驱动，因此科学的核心存在哲学张力。鉴于这种紧张关系，为什么科学甚至会起作用？更准确地说，为什么科学会趋于真理而不是背离真理？这篇文章对这种紧张局势进行了哲学描述，并对其愉快的解决进行了神学解释。
