摘　　要：最佳说明推理的有效性是当前科学哲学研究备受关注的话题。范·弗拉森反驳这种推理的有效性。他通过质询正确的好说明是否在那堆被考虑的可能说明中,表明如果遗漏正确说明,在考虑它时"无动于衷",那就无法认为一堆可能说明中最佳的那个说明是正确的。范·弗拉森对这种推理的理解实际上并不充分。结合他的相关表述,就能看到他的无动于衷论证存在的问题与不足,并可由此来表明他的反驳论证是失败的。The validity of inference to the best explanation is a hot topic in philosophy of science.Van Fraassen rejected the validity of this inference.He questioned whether the true explanation was in the pile of possible explanations that had been considered,suggesting that if the true explanation was omitted and“indifferent”in considering,the best of the possible explanations couldn’t be considered to be true.In fact,Van Fraassen’s understanding of this inference is not sufficient.Combined with his related expressions,we can see the problems and shortcomings of his argument from indifference,showing that his rebuttal argument fails.
