Abstract

Abstract I defend a novel account of scientific progress centred around justification. Science progresses, on this account, where there is a change in justification. I consider three options for explicating this notion of change in justification. This account of scientific progress dispels with a condition for scientific progress that requires accumulation of truth or truthlikeness, and it emphasises the social nature of scientific justification.

为科学进步辩护

我为一种以正当性为中心的科学进步的新描述辩护。因此，当正当理由发生变化时，科学就会进步。我考虑了三种选择来解释这种理由变化的概念。这种对科学进步的描述消除了科学进步需要积累真理或与真理相似的条件，并强调了科学证明的社会性质。
