摘要
作为生物学模式与以物理主义为代表的传统科学解释模式的不同,目的论的解释占据了其中很大一部分。生物学中的目的论问题历来争议很多,同时研究的途径也很多。对于这些目前的主流观点以及研究途径,认真的分析评论很有必要。文章将从意向性、功能解释以及目的论观点下的适应论等方面对生物学中的目的论问题展开分析,期望能够对各种争议的源头从解释文本的角度加以考察,并对相关问题的解决出路进行探讨。
Teleological explanation is a remarkable difference between biological model and traditional scientific explanation model typical of physicalism. There are great many controversies and study routes which focus on teleological explanation in history. A deep analysis and comment on these different opinions and study routes is very necessary. This paper analyses the problem of teleological explanation in biology from three aspects ： intentionality, functional explanation and the adaptionism in the view of teleological explanation. This paper expects to find out the real reason of these controversies and discusses the proper study route to resolve these problems.
