摘要
从自然主义的视角出发,科学知识社会学的早期代表人物布鲁尔把逻辑知识等同于集体共享的推理模式,探求逻辑知识的自然与社会基础。在他看来演绎推理是建立在人类生物性基础上的一种社会惯例,逻辑必然性是一种道德必然性,逻辑的强制力来自于社会。逻辑规则作为社会惯例,是自我指涉、自我创造、自我证立的。
In his book Knowledge and Social Imagery,Dr David Bloor proposed a 'strong programme' for the sociology of knowledge including scientific,mathematic,and logical knowledge.Contrary to the standard view which states that knowledge is justified true belief,Bloor takes the view of naturalism.From this viewpoint,he takes logical knowledge as the shared inference patterns,and inquires its natural and social basis.For him,logical inference is a social phenomenon,based on the human biological make-up;Logical necessity is a species of moral obligation.The compelling force of logic comes from society.As a social institution,logical rule can be analyzed in terms of collective processes having a self-referring character.According to this self-referring model,logical rule exists in the practical using,has no independent source of justification.Any justification for the logical necessity must trace back to the practice itself.In a word,it is self-referring,self-creating and self-validating.
