摘要

謝勒在其有生之年雖未曾與孔恩相遇而懇談科學真理的義涵，但謝勒的科學觀與真理觀可充份地回應孔恩對科學發展史上所提出之「不可共量性」這一議題，因為謝勒秉持着任何學科之真理都有其絕對性與相對性，在對相對的時、空、文化中仍有其永恆不變的一面。

並列摘要

E ven though Max Scheler (1874-1928) dies prematurely before he can confront Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996) in the latter's position concerning the idea of incommensurability within the history of scientific revolution, nevertheless, Scheler's reflection on scientific knowledge as well as on truth may be sufficient enough to give an adequate response to Kuhn to appease his doubt about the relativity of scientific truth.
