摘　　要：欧内斯特·内格尔的还原模型自问世以来受到大量批评。主流观点支持这些批评,并认为内格尔的还原模型已经过时。不过,近期新观点则认为相关批评不能成立。文章在内格尔文本基础上重新审视其还原模型。文章不仅要系统回应主流观点对内格尔还原模型的批评,还将指出近期新观点存在的少量不足之处。实际上,内格尔的还原模型仅仅给出成功还原需要满足的形式化和非形式化条件;而在特定案例中还原成功与否,只由相应情境下的科学知识决定。Ernest Nagel’s model of reduction has received numerous criticisms since proposed.The mainstream view supports these criticisms and dismisses Nagel’s model as outdated.However,a new recent view contends that mainstream criticisms fail to do justice to Nagel’s model.This article relies on Nagel’s text and conducts a re-examination of his model of reduction.On the one hand,it offers a systematic response to mainstream criticisms;on the other hand,it also exposes several shortcomings of the new view.Indeed,Nagel’s model of reduction only offers formal and nonformal conditions for a successful reduction;and a successful reduction is finally grounded by scientific knowledge in given situations.
