Abstract

Abstract Localism is the view that the unit of evaluation in the scientific realism debate is a single scientific discipline, sub-discipline, or claim, whereas individualism is the view that the unit of evaluation is a single scientific theory. Localism is compatible, while individualism is not, with a local pessimistic induction and a local selective induction. Asay presents several arguments to support localism and undercut globalism, according to which the unit of evaluation is the set of all scientific disciplines. I argue that some of his arguments clash with localism as well as with globalism and support individualism, and that individualism goes hand in hand, while localism does not, with the basic rule of how to evaluate an argument.

科学实在论辩论中的地方主义与个人主义

抽象的地方主义是一种观点，认为科学现实主义辩论中的评价单位是单一的科学学科、子学科或主张，而个人主义是一种观点，认为评价单位是单一的科学理论。地方主义与局部悲观归纳和局部选择归纳是相容的，而个人主义则不是。Asay提出了几个支持地方主义和削弱全球主义的论点，根据全球主义，评估单位是所有科学学科的集合。我认为，他的一些论点与地方主义以及全球主义相冲突，并支持个人主义，个人主义与如何评估论点的基本规则密切相关，而地方主义则不然。
