柯林斯“实验者回归”的再解决——基于概念重复的观念
Re-Solution of Collins’ “Return of the Experimenter”—Based on the Concept of Conceptual Repetition
摘要: “实验者回归”是柯林斯提出的我们在科学实践中无法避免的难题,判断实验是否正确需要依赖结果,而判断结果是否可信又需要实验是否正确,导致循环。柯林斯认为有效破解这一循环的有效方式是社会磋商。这一解决方式引起争议,并没有解决“实验者回归”难题,依旧面临着许多问题。本文立足概念重复,尝试以跨学科累积一致性证据来破解“实验者回归”,建议我们应避免执着于直接重复,而尝试使用概念重复,通过不同学科、不同方法的研究积累一致性证据,从而绕过对单一实验重复的依赖。
Abstract: “Return of the experimenter” is a difficult problem that Collins Abstract: The “return of the experimenter” is a problem that Collins proposed that we cannot avoid in scientific practice, judging whether the experiment is correct or not need to rely on the results, and judging whether the results are credible or not need to experiment whether it is correct or not, resulting in a cycle. Collins argues that an effective way to break this cycle is through social consultation. This solution is controversial and does not solve the problem of “return of the experimenter”, which still faces many problems. Based on conceptual repetition, this paper tries to solve the problem of “return of the experimenter” by accumulating consistent evidence across disciplines, and suggests that we should avoid insisting on direct repetition and try to use conceptual repetition to accumulate consistent evidence through research in different disciplines and methods, so as to bypass the reliance on a single experimental repetition.
