Abstract/Summary:
Scientific experiments play a very important role in the actual scientific process, but because of the influence of traditional theory-dominated view of science, philosophy significance of the experiment has not been sufficient attention,logical empiricism insists discovery and defense of the dichotomy, trying to restore the experimental theoretical proposition,although historicist break this artificial separation, but the experiment was seen as a theory or paradigm penetration,experiment is still no independent status.In the philosophy of science return scientific practice so that we can better expand the study of scientific experiments in the Perspective of practice-dominated,Swiss philosopher E. Agassi proposed experiment can provide a theoretical proposition alleged,Hacking is through the history of science investigation made experiments with its own independent life views,author opened along their practice dominated research approach, carried out further research on the scientific experiments. Philosophy of Scientific Practice representatives Rouse proposed scientific experiments play a key role in the foundation and to clarify the concept of point of view, but for this role that he did not give a clear explanation,in addition to clarify the concept of the experimental system may constitute, nor did he give analysis. The author tries to analyze the experimental system may constitute,experimental system consist of material elements and intellectual elements that constitute the material elements of the typical subjects and laboratory instruments and ancillary test material, intellectual factors by the tacit knowledge explicit knowledge and operational structure, operational tacit knowledge is more important,In the history of science and Morgan team to clarify the concept of the gene as a case of such a key role in the experimental system to clarify the concept of play gives a clear explanation:(1) Experimental system to create the concept of such phenomena are accessible to clarify;(2)Experimental system to clarify key concepts, the formation of new areas of research, the guidelines clarify the concept of direction;(3) Experimental system complete concept reasoning, establish links between related concepts, and clarify mathematical concepts and language to clarify concepts together to complete the final formation of the understanding of the concept;We can see the beginning of the understanding of the concept embedded in scientific practice, since the concept of knowledge to clarify an important role in the defense, it also provides a new way for us to solve the problem of knowledge defense.Finally, the author of the article for this view may be subjected to criticism had to respond,The main answer to the adaptability of the experimental system, the concept of partitioning problem and clarify the relationship between practice and clarify the language and mathematical concepts among their ideas shows the possible defense.Back to scientific practice, focus on real scientific research process, we are able to philosophical significance of scientific experiments are given more appropriate understanding. Scientific experiments not only provide theory alleged, but also has its own independent life, further research showed that it also plays a more fundamental concept stated in a key role, the beginning of the understanding of the concept embedded in scientific practice. Not just systematic scientific theory, it is the transformation world practice. whereby we can get a more reasonable view of science.
