The Rationality of Scientific Discovery: The Aspect of the Theory of Creation :: Philosophical Science Scientific Papers

The Rationality of scientific Discovery The Aspect of the Theory of CreationABSTRACT In hallow to understand the rationality of scientific creation, we must first clarify the adjacent (1) the historical bodily structure of scientific creation from starting point to breakthrough, and wherefore to establishment (2) the process from the primary through the productive aspects of the scientific problem, the musical theme of creation, the primary conjecture, the scientific hypothesis, and finally the emergence of the genetic structure establishing the possibility and (3) the problem threshold of rationality in scientific creation. Given that the possibleness of scientific creation adopts the descriptive viewpoint of rationality, it therefore establishes rational principles such as the following (1) a super logical mode of thinking (2) an analysable genetic structure which consists of the primary and productive aspects (including experiential facts, background theory, operational mea ns, higher(prenominal) preposterous factors, etc.) (3) a means of recourse to the effect of incubation of a higher idea (4) a movement in thinking from generality to speciality and (5) the replacement of irrational by rational factors. 1.The Logic Theory of scientific Discovery and the Irrational Theory of Scientific DiscoveryThe modern forms of the logic theory of scientific discovery have abandoned the discovery exemplification of pure logic, and search after the discovery logic in a broad sense. Both the retrospective inference which Hanson initiated and the inductive which Maclauin elucidated deserve stark attention among them 1. Their common charateristics are to resort to the irrational factors, at the akin time, they are unable to expound the process of emergence of the saucily ideas. In addition, the rationality of discovery is summed up into the algorithm or the patterns of discovery is whitewash put forward, and it holds that it is according to the overeconomical p rinciple that the discovery of the scientific laws discovers the patterns in get a line and data 3. They are both the different expression of discovery logic, the agent is a kind of logic of problem solving, the latter is actually an inductive inference. Their common shortcomings are the simplification and to be unable to reveal how the new ideas occur in the process of scientific creation.The irrational theory of discovery advocates the method of bisection of discovery and verification and holds that the scientific discovery is the intuitional result exchangeable poetry (Popper), and doesnt thoroughly have the possibility of epistemological research (L. Laudan) 4. The problems of scientific discovery should be studies by psychology and sociology.
