至少从库恩的《结构》开始,哲学家们就开始研究社会因素对科学追求真理和知识的影响。最近,形式模型和计算机模拟使科学哲学家和社会认识论者能够深入研究科学研究和实验的详细动态,并开发出科学社会组织的看似非常现实的模型。这些模型旨在预测因素的最佳分配,例如科学中使用的方法的多样性,群体的规模以及研究人员之间的沟通渠道。在本文中,我们认为,目前的研究面临着实证的挑战。挑战在于将模拟模型与数据连接起来。我们提出了关于挑战可能如何展开的可能情景。
At least since Kuhn’s Structure, philosophers have studied the influence of social factors in science’s pursuit of truth and knowledge. More recently, formal models and computer simulations have allowed philosophers of science and social epistemologists to dig deeper into the detailed dynamics of scientific research and experimentation, and to develop very seemingly realistic models of the social organization of science. These models purport to be predictive of the optimal allocations of factors, such as diversity of methods used in science, size of groups, and communication channels among researchers. In this paper we argue that the current research faces an empirical challenge. The challenge is to connect simulation models with data. We present possible scenarios about how the challenge may unfold.
