“哲学的改造”:杜威如何论“科学”?
“Reconstruction in Philosophy”: John Dewey's Views on “Science”
-
摘要: 20世纪初,约翰·杜威接过自然科学的伟大先驱弗朗西斯·培根手中挥舞的大棒,以“今人”的姿态继续猛烈地冲击“古人”,试图将“自然科学”的合法性扩展到道德和社会领域。他郑重宣告,“哲学的改造”不仅要完成“自然科学”的神圣时刻,更要将这一神圣时刻径直转化为世俗世界的本质秩序。“科学”作为杜威改造哲学的工具,不仅要在哲学内部宣告其“权能”,更要使这种“权能”进入“政治”,“科学精神”的载体正是未完成的美利坚合众国或曰杜威理想中的美国。Abstract: In the early twentieth century, John Dewey, taking up the baton from Francis Bacon, defended modernity against the hegemony of the antique and tried to extend the legitimacy of "science" to the fields of morality and social affairs. He declared that the "Reconstruction in Philosophy" would not only make the holy moment of "science" come true, but also transform the holy moment into an essential order of the secular world. "Science," as the instrument for Dewey to reconstruct philosophy, should not only announce its power in philosophy, but also infuse itself into politics. The unfinished America or the ideal America in Dewey's thought is the carrier of this "scientific spirit."
