论文摘要
有些人攻击科学理性，另一些人捍卫了它，但都错过了重点。双方认为科学理性实际上是一种非理性的物种，伪装成科学理性。科学家和非科学主义者都认为，当前对科学的正统概念是非理性的，因为它抑制了科学目的固有的有问题的假设，与形而上学，价值观以及政治和社会问题有关。我们迫切需要采用和实施更严格的科学概念，并诚实地承认科学目标的问题，并寻求随着科学的进行而改善它们。
Some attack scientific rationality, others defend it, but both miss the point. What both parties take to be scientific rationality is actually a species of irrationality masquerading as scientific rationality. The current orthodox conception of science, taken for granted by scientists and non-scientists alike, is irrational because it suppresses problematic assumptions, inherent in the aims of science, having to do with metaphysics, values, and political and social issues. We urgently need a more rigorous conception of science to be adopted and implemented that honestly acknowledges the problematic character of the aims of science, and seeks to improve them as science proceeds.
