The History of Objectivity

Liu Pen

Abstract

Objectivity is a core concept in philosophy of science.Its meaning is changing with the development of philosophy of science:the central point of Logic Positivism is that science is the representation to nature;Sociology of Scientific Knowledge (SSK) regards science as the reflection of social interests;Post-SSK,however,inquires objectivity in the real process of scientific practice.Practical objectivity is more reasonable than the former two views.
