Philosophy of biological science belongs to a branch of philosophy of science, compara to other branches, it's the more different one. Since philosophy of biological science study has been initiated by Hull, Its research system, research approach have moved to maturity, the direction of study tends to being clear gradually. Meanwhile, accelerating constantly with the development of bioscience oneself, Can proceed from any angles good prediction whole biological development trend of philosophy, this question will undoubtedly become the focus . For a long time, Scientific philosophers are often influenced by the tradition of the mathematical logic.Under the influence of the reductionist, Bioscience is suspected it is not an independent discipline. Mayr divide these views for three kinds: constitutive reduction,explanatory reduction and theory reduction. Even nagner is all adherents of theory reduction. In addition, the brilliant achievements which molecular biology have made are often be considered the victory of reduction, Though it only relates to constitutive reduction. This is the reasion why select molecular biology as the starting point of paper. These suspiction have undoubtedly offered a battle field for philosophy of biological science, No matter from the theory history respect of discipline, the methodology history of studying in discipline , all embody the defence of biology and b philosophy of biological science. Though Hull had already begun to describe the question in Philosophy of biological science in terms of explanation of science long ago, but the try behind that either lacks continuity or not completely enough .It isn't the real study of biological in explanation of science, so, carry on this try in the study of Philosophy of biological science and especially proceed with symbol system, undoubtedly have a very strong inspiration meaning.Explanation of science is different from traditional hermeniutic of phylosophy, the former leans to the study on science's explanation even more, Its main view thinks , the scientist and nature all forgive in history, and historical embodiment is in the restriction function on scientific research of the scientific tradition. Though the scientific theory has being improving constantly, the scientific tradition is stability comparably. Equally no exception in biology, this kind of tradition has broadly-defined intension, take shape gradually in long-term discipline research history, including the instrument and equipment, practice skill,the way of expression, information interchange means and cognitive purport ,etc.. It has undoubtedly formed a broadly-defined standard which influencn scentist's research potentially. So, to this kind of tradition taking shape in biology, the article inclines to regard it as a kind of broad sense context even more. In addition, still consult the view of explanation of science , the knowledge system that has already existed to the biological study, it express itself rely on context of explanation which forms in tradition of the discipline. Therefore we can argue further on the basis of this view, the history of the evolution of whole biological study and paradigm of the discipline which origins can all be regarded as the development of context of explanation in discipline.Compare other discipline, biology explain way have variety in text of explaining. In addition, biology has more extensive research fields, A great part of it is between traditional science and social science, this means traditional explanation of science view will be unable to well solve the problem that meet in phylosophy of biological . Because this kind of explanation view regards explanation of science as one has no subject, has no purport , course without purpose, have adhered to the position of the scientific doctrine on the relation that explanation of science and social science explained, so cause various kinds of generalization faults in theory. So only correct to handle the relation of understand and explain well, we could further understanding explaination of science. Establish the system of intact knowledge from three levels of ontology , epistemology and methodology, and through introducing the biological knowledge system of context of explanation concept, regard it as the concrete division basis within the system, Thus in the study of explanation in phylosophy of biological, introduce the analytical method of context, in order to realize the whole explanation validity of discipline.
