摘要:传统观念认为隐喻与科学之间没有必然的联系;但越来越多的研究表明隐喻;特别是理论构建隐喻;在科学理论和科学研究模式的构建方面起着重要的作用。从某种程度上讲理论构建隐喻是构建科学理论和科学研究的助推器。本文在讨论理论构建隐喻的意义的基础上;重点讨论了理论构建隐喻对科学概念、科学范式以及科学话语构建的作用。
It is conventionally believed that science has nothing to do with metaphors.Recent research,however,suggests that metaphors,especially theory-constitutive metaphors play an important role in theory generativity and the construction of research models.To some extent theory-constitutive metaphors can be regarded as the engine in scientific theory development.On the basis of a discussion of the connotation of the theory-constitutive metaphors,the paper focuses on the construction of the system of concepts,the paradigm of research and the discourse of the science.
