为了重构传统的科学理性观,理查德.罗蒂区分了“合理性”的两种意义:强理性与弱理性。放弃标准的强理性观而接受实用主义的弱理性观,也就是放弃认为真理是某种我们应对之负责的东西的看法。罗蒂从文化的层面来考察科学,正确地指出了科学作为一种人类文化所必然具有的“亲和性”、“建构性”和“约定性”的特征,但又完全无视科学与各种非科学文化的根本区别。科学不能排除非理性因素的影响,而且在一定程度上,还需要非理性因素作重要的补充,但是科学在本质上是合乎理性的、客观的认识活动。罗蒂试图完全否定科学的合理性和客观性的作法是行不通的。
In order to reconstruct the traditional view of scientific rationality, Richard Rorty distinguishes the two meanings of “rationality”: strong reason and weak reason. To abandon the standard strong reasoning and accept the weakness view of pragmatism means giving up the view that truth is something that we should be responsible for. Rorty examines science from a cultural perspective and rightly points out that science as a human culture necessarily has the characteristics of “affinity,” “constructiveness,” and “agreement.” However, Completely ignoring the fundamental difference between science and various non-scientific cultures. Science can not rule out the influence of irrational factors, and to some extent, it also needs an irrational factor as an important supplement, but science is essentially a rational and objective cognitive activity. Rorty’s attempt to completely deny the scientific rationality and objectivity does not work.
