摘要
功能溯因解释是生物功能讨论中与功能分析路径相对的另外一种重要的理论形式。功能溯因解释先后经历了功能溯因理论、选择溯因理论、功能的现代历史理论等理论形式。大卫·布勒和贾斯汀·加森在这些理论的基础上分别提出了强弱溯因理论和一般选择效果功能理论,在不同程度上扩展了功能溯因解释的解释范围。本文在概述功能溯因解释的几种理论形式的基础上,重点讨论布勒和加森对功能溯因理论的新综合。
In contrast to the functional analysis approach,the etiological account of biological functions is another crucial theory of biological functions.The etiological account of biological functions is reflected in various kinds of etiological theories successively,which include the etiological accounts of biological functions,the selected etiological accounts of biological functions and a modern history of functions.According to these etiological theories,David J.Buller and Justin Garson established the strong/weak etiological theory and the generalized selected effects theory of function respectively.In their analyses,they extended the explanatory scope of this account at different degrees.Based on this,this article intends to focus on the syntheses of Buller and Justin respectively.
