Research On Epistemic Trust Mechanism Of Science

This paper mainly consists of the introduction,the social constructionist perspective of cognitive trust in science,the research on cognitive trust in the scientific community,the cognitive mechanism and model of public trust in science,the reconstruction of scientific consensus and trust,and the conclusion.Aiming at the relativism of testimony in the context of social construction of analects,this paper studies the cognitive trust mechanism within the scientific community and provides a new way to enhance public trust in science.In view of this,this paper mainly expand the following aspects of discussion.In the introduction part of Chapter 1,the background of the topic selection,the research status of cognitive trust and the innovation of this paper are introduced.Through sorting out the research status,it is concluded that although cognitive trust has been fully discussed,it has not been substantively divided.In Chapter two,cognitive trust,as an indirect form of judgment on testimony,is testified to be symmetrical and incomplete.While social constructionism justifies its legitimacy,the relativism tendency weakens the reliability of testimony to some extent.This part discusses from two aspects: the definition of scientific cognitive trust points out the concept,characteristics and the meaning of scientific cognitive trust;In the part of social constructivism and scientific cognitive trust,it points out the relationship between them and the defect of constructivism,namely the tendency of relativism.In the third chapter,the first part illustrates the mechanism of collective rationality in the scientific community through the cognitive model of "Prisoner’s dilemma".The second part points out the essence of knowledge trust through Torsten Wilholt’s hypothesis,utility and value judgment,and points out that scientific consensus is the product of this trust.In Chapter four,the author discusses the conditions of public cognitive trust and points out the core status of testimony reliability in cognitive trust.The second part discusses two kinds of testimony interpretation in the scientific consensus,and then points out the problems of testimony from the two explanations and the scientific consensus itself.Chapter four points out the relevant contents of science and consensus,as well as the standard of consensus.Finally,based on Mikkel Gerken’s scientific demonstration,it points out the concrete path of testimony--essential argument,and discusses the characteristics,feasibility and significance of this essential argument in detail.The last part summarizes the full text.
