最近读美国心理学史家利黑撰写的第三版《心理学史》。看到在第二版序言里,作者着重讲述了自己从库恩的范式论的科学哲学中解放出来的思想转变历程。其中有关狐狸与刺猬的隐喻,颇能代表现代西方心理学家的不同研究取向。 Recently read the third edition of the history of psychology written by American psychology historian Lihe. In the preface to the second edition, I saw that the author focused on the process of his thought-liberation from the philosophy of science in Kuhn’s paradigm. One of the metaphors about foxes and hedgehogs can rather represent the different research orientations of modern western psychologists.
