Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

N.R.Hanson′s arguments for the proposition of theory-loadenness of observationscontained some deep tensions logically,because of his misunderstanding about the different conceptions of meaning hold by earlier and latter Wittgenstein.However,a critical review for that proposition will imply a new concption of Experience,which is immediately related to the specified context of scientific practice.That new conception can be illustrated probably in three senses,which consist of the practice which interprets the meaning of instrument in specified context,the hermeneutical circle which exists in the intrinsic structure of experience,and the relationship between practitioners and contexts.
