Abstract

Scientific theory choice problems from holism's perspective contain two aspects: on the one hand,scientist or scientific worker's faith conversion in psychology,and,on the other hand,scientific community's paradigm shift,both of which show the holistic methodological dimension of Kuhn's theory.From holism's perspective,this paper interprets the unity of objectivity and subjectivity in theory choice problems,choice and incommensurability problems,and the problem of scientific theory acceptance's process.
