摘要
理论检验是一元的、也是多样的。理论检验的一元实际上就是真理的一元。真理的一元性是指真理只有一个。理论检验的多样性则是指在某一时期,属于同一领域的理论不是一个而是多个。理论检验的一元性和多样性是矛盾的。这种矛盾只能在运动中解决。具体地说,有以下三个途径:一是在更深的层次上,不同理论融合为一个,真理也就变成一个,二是两种或几种不同形式的理论,最后证明是等价的,三是在两种或几种不同的理论中,其中一种理论的逼真度更高,即更符合观察和实验。
The theory test is both unitary and diverse. The unitariness of theory test is in fact that of truth. The monism of truth indicates that there is only one truth. The diversity of theory test indicates that during a certain period there is not only one theory but many the ones in a field. In a certain period, the unitariness and diversity of theory test are contradictory. This contradiction can be resolved in movement. Firstly, the different theories are merged into one form and so the truth becomes one. Secondly, two or more different forms of theories are proved to be equivalent. Thirdly; among two or several different theories one has higher fidelity and fits for the observation and experiment better.
