国内社会学界对科学知识社会学(Sociology of Scientific Knowledge,SSK)的关注较少,哲学界的讨论则往往远离社会学的经验研究实践,这一方面造成SSK研究与其他社会学研究领域的脱节,另一方面使得SSK的方法论价值未被全面认识。从社会学经验研究的角度看,当代社会科学研究囿于“语义学神话”从而深深陷入形式主义误区,SSK研究者则敏锐地指出了这个病症。反科学、多重发现、虚无主义等观点均不是批评SSK的恰当理由,而SSK所遭遇的困境也不专属于其自身,它实际体现了现代西方认识论文化的根本困难。
The domestic sociology circles have paid little attention to Sociology of Scientific Knowledge (SSK), and the discussion in the philosophical circle tends to be far away from the empirical research and practice of sociology. On the one hand, it causes the disjunction between SSK and other fields of sociology, On the other hand, the methodological value of SSK is not fully understood. From the perspective of sociological empirical research, contemporary social science research is deeply trapped in formalist misunderstandings, and SSK researchers pointedly pointed out this disorder. Anti-science, multiple discoveries and nihilism are not the proper reasons to criticize SSK. However, the plight of SSK is not exclusive to itself. It actually embodies the fundamental difficulties of the modern western epistemological culture.
