Donald T. Campbell on the institutions of scientific knowledge and the limits to interdisciplinarity
摘录了坎贝尔的重要文章,强调学科边界既是专业化的推动者,也常阻碍科学创新与知识共享,并提出有重点的跨学科专业主义,对制度研究发展有启示。
Abstract Extracts from an important article by the American psychologist, philosopher and social scientist Donald T. Campbell are reproduced here, with an introduction underlining the importance of his argument for today. Campbell identified disciplinary boundaries as enablers of specialization but often barriers to scientific innovation and shared knowledge. But instead of unbounded interdisciplinarity, Campbell argued for focused specialisms that cross disciplinary boundaries. This argument is particularly relevant for the development of institutional research in the future.
