The Research Of Popper's Growth Pattern In Scientific Knowledge

Karl·Popper is one of the West's greatest scientific philosophers in modern times, the scientific philosophy he built had overthrew the tradition built by logic evidence. His criticism to traditional rationalism, dialectics and induction had lay the foundation of all his philosophy, the theory of "three worlds" ontology, evolutionary epistemology and conjectures-refutations construct a philosophy system which include ontology, epistemology and methodology.The full text is divided into four parts:The first is the theory background of Popper's growth of the scientific knowledge and its mainly theoretical concept. First, analyze the theory background of his philosophy. The historical theory about knowledge had provided critical materials. Kant's Critique of rationalism, as well as Darwin's theory had profound impact on Popper, second, in the macro sense, Popper has inferred "World 3" and built a four-section growth pattern of scientific knowledge and the falsification of scientific boundaries standards.Popper's scientific knowledge growth pattern embraced reasonable thought. First, by Darwin's Theory of Evolution, Popper established evolutionary epistemology, and it has opened up a new horizon for the development of philosophy of science . Second, the growth of scientific knowledge take "the prior knowledge structure" as a prerequisite expressed a spirit of the main promote. Third, the trial-error method and critical rationalism have positive significance to the development of science and philosophy and good for nurturing the spirit of humanism.The rebuttal to Popper's scientific knowledge growth pattern. First, Popper criticized observation and experience with the negative one-sidedness. Second, when faced t the problem of the boundaries, he proposed using the principle of falsification to replace confirmed, there has boundary ambiguity between them. Third, four-section of scientific knowledge growth pattern flawed. Fourth, Popper's certainty knowledge is difficult to obtain and he proposed the concept of fidelity, But his realistic concept is imperfect.There have contemporary values in Popper's scientific knowledge growth pattern, on the background of modern Marxist, the trial and error method has positive significance for the materialist dialectics. Generally speaking, Popper's view of science is a scientific concept of humanism. Popper's scientific concept of humanism has practical significance. "Guess and refute" has a positive value for the cultivation of the spirit of innovation. "World 3" theory provides some understanding ideas for solving awareness of the blind spots in the information era, Some scholars thus proposed "World 4".As above, the concept of Popper's scientific outlook is humanism. His philosophy of science still has important research value today.
