Issue4 by irvine666,果然10多天不碰I手感就不行了...
Issue4, 老高频,先列的提纲,尝试搞点新想法出来:
问题本质:如何能够有效地推动一门学科
问题结果:外人的经验和知识并非万能。
1.定义学科的发展过程-提出有两个阶段:1.基础阶段,2.应用阶段
2.在基础阶段中只能通过对学科相关的现象或知识的思考观察和分析来推动学科进步,这个过程当中外部的经验和知识是无法给与实质性帮助的,否则整个学科的定义就会出现偏差.比如生物化学,当物理学也涉及到里面的时候,这个学科就变成了截然不同的另一个学科:生理学(physiological)
3.只有当某个学科进入应用阶段的时候,外部的知识和经验才能够给与其显著的推动.比如只有当考古学(archaeology)发展到实地操作挖掘的时候,地质学(geognosy)才能够给它以实质性的帮助. 经济学发展到认清了经济体制的本质,统计学,社会科学才能够给与它发展的帮助.
4.值得注意的是,某些纯理论学科是没有应用阶段,它们本身就是作为其他学科的基础,比如语言学(linguistics),数学和化学,因此外来的经验对这种学科帮助非常小.
TOPIC: ISSUE4 - "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."

Splendid achievement and development in the realm of philosophy has been obtained since preeminent ideologist Russell Bertrand introduced the theory of history to it. The publishing of his opus, A History of Western Philosophy, soon fascinated great wisdom and intelligence to deliberate the causality between searching for help of other disciplines and boosting significant improvement of certain one. Could all fields of study advance considerably under the auspices of knowledge and experience unrelated to them? Obviously, the essence of the question should be attributed to the properties of each discipline, and that issue, as is set forth below, should have distinct answers in different situation.
Retrospecting to the origin of disciplines and scrutinizing their tracks of development, scholars could be able to find out an interesting phenomenon in almost all fields of study that the way one discipline being treated is not consistent, but is divided into two phases: fundamental theory establishment, and using it in application while continuing consummating its professional knowledge. When certain thought first time conjured up in human beings' mind, for the sake of objective truth, our forebears endeavored their best to explain it by their insufficient and obsolete -- in modern view, even unscientific --- knowledge and therefore managed to utilize that incomplete ideology to interpret natural substances and rules; one discipline subsequently emerged. That cause of development should be regarded as the phase of fundamental theory establishment. Then, as is apparent, human beings, as creatures of reason and realism, tried to fully capitalize on the established theories to solve their problems in respects of research, creation and interpretation in all fields. That is another phrase in the development of certain discipline, as is known to all, being entitled as application.
Naturally, were its conception defined as Socrates, knowledge stems from perception that is infallible. Both because each realm of knowledge could have only ONE infallible explanations, and it is precise reflection of knowledge, fundamental theory of one discipline, which influenced significantly by knowledge and experiences of others, which combine theories of related fields of study, and which proned to observe the world of speculation with compromise, should by no means be considered as basis of "that discipline". In other words, when the original speculation of one discipline intensively mixed with some unrelated essential theory of other disciplines, it would certainly lost its principle and become another discipline. Such phenomenon, to be realistic, would be familiar in the phase of fundamental theory establishment, as is demonstrated by the emergence of biochemistry. Before Franz Hofmeister first formulate the new biochemical point of view in a lecture in 1901, there existed a constant qualm and discussion in how to combining relevant disciplines such as chemistry, biology, iatrology, and even physics to constitute a new discipline to satisfy the growing demand for chemical characterization of tissues and body fluids. An outcome of biochemistry was finally come to before long, whereas before its fundamental theory completed, Felix Hoppe-Seyler took iatrology into account and subsequently developed into two discipline called Physiology and Pathology -- a totally new disciplines distinct from biochemistry. Therefore, referring to the knowledge and experience of outsiders in the fundamental theory developing phase, one discipline would be misled rather than being advanced.
However, the situation of consulting outsiders' help would be optimistic in the phase of application. For the materialist view further overshadows the concern with spiritual and emotional satisfactions, how could one discipline fit and serve community would be the key problem. The best way, as is apparent, should be asking for help of others. Actually, cooperation or even promoting mutual improvement in two or several disciplines is normal in modern epoch. Considering some interactions between different disciplines as representative examples, geognosy could help archaeology in analyzing the era of historical remains; social science and statistics could be able to enhance the reliability of economics; and the emergence of X ray in the realm of physics significantly benefit the development of iatrology. Since no field of study could illustrate or reflect the real world, one discipline should rely on the assistance of others to consummate itself.
Considered as opposite directions, one might argue that some fields of discipline could not be boosted by outsiders' knowledge and experience such as math, linguistics, and chemistry. Nonetheless, one principle must be clarified is that not all disciplines have the second phase, the period of application. These fields of study are to serve as pillars and foundation of those splendid temples of practical disciplines. As is self-evident, basic subject, firm and objective as it is, could hardly be affected by those which is applied and utilized every day. Only by persistently observing, analyzing and thinking could one make possible breakthrough in these fields of study.
Controversial situation as it is, while concerning that it is negative or even harmful to bring unrelated idea to fundamental theory of any discipline, the knowledge and experience of outsiders should not be regarded as omnipotent measure in spurring the development of one field of study. |
