檢視多元文化論與批判理性論的共通性

本文旨在透過「多元文化論」與「批判理性論」兩種哲學理論的發展，探討「族群文化理論」與「普遍科學理論」之間的「共通性」。傳統上的認知，「政治」與「科學」分屬於不同領域，但在我們針對「多元文化論」與「批判理性論」的幾個哲學家理念所做的分析裡，發現「政治」與「科學」都呈現理論知識與實踐知識「相互滲透」的特色。透過這個「相互滲透」特色的呈現，我們企圖指出，「族群文化」與「普遍科學」並不分屬「多元」與「一元」的對立項，反而擁有共通的結構。

Through an examination of the development of Multiculturalism and Critical Rationalism, this article intends to expose the commonality amid theories of plural cultures and universal science. Traditionally, the distinction between politics as practice and science as theory has been firmly held, yet by analyzing several philosophers representing separately Multiculturalism and Critical Rationalism, we discover that the interpenetration of theoretical and practical knowledge is rather popular in both the fields of politics and science. With the discovery, we attempt to demonstrate that 'plural cultures' and 'universal science' share a common structure rather than being opposing to each other by referring respectively to their pluralistic and monistic nature.
