摘 要:
由于理论术语所指称实体或过程的不可观察性，超越了能够以经验术语去表述的可观察范围，因此它们在许多经验主义者的眼里是没有意义的，或者被认为完全可以通过“对应规则”用经验术语定义。然而，用可观察的性质显式地定义那些被用来命名不可观察的实体或过程的术语是有问题的。科学理论一方面要通过经验得到辩护，另一方面要给予我们关于经验现象的解释性说明。调和经验主义的认知策略与科学理论的解释或说明功能之间的关系是解决问题的关键。[著者文摘]

Empirical Explanation of the Theoretical Terms
ZHANG Zhen-huan, XU Chun-lei （School of Social Development, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming 650092, China）
Abstract:
As the entities and processes referred by theoretical terms are unobservable in terms of the description with empirical terms, many empiricists regard them meaningless or define them through ＂corresponding rule＂. However, it is debatable to use observable characters to perspicuously define those terms for the unobservable entities and processes. On the one hand, the scientific theory should be justified by experience; on the other hand, it should give us the exposition of the empirical phenomena. The adjustment of the relationship between the empiricist epistemic strategy and the expository function of scientific theory is the key to solving the problem.[著者文摘]
