翻译后摘要我们添加到当前的讨论生态,价值观和客观性之间的接口,一个新的Delphi为基础的研究,由一组8个生态学家,他们共同认为当前的生态思想的科学推理报告。我们依靠语境主义,其特点是理论与现实和科学作为一种社会活动的多种联系方式,以提供更丰富的理解科学的客观性。这种理解承认了价值的地位和贡献,并在这样做的时候,将讨论超越了科学是否是“价值中立”的问题。
Abstract We add to current discussions about the interface between ecology, values, and objectivity by reporting on a novel Delphi-based study of the scientific reasoning employed by a group of eight ecologists as they collectively considered current ecological thinking. We rely on contextual empiricism, with its features of multiple ways of relating theory to reality and science as a social activity, to provide a richer understanding of scientific objectivity. This understanding recognizes the place and contributions of values and, in so doing, moves the discussion beyond whether or not science is “value neutral.”
