摘　　要：随着科学本质论与进化发育生物学研究的深入,当代生物学哲学中兴起了一股关于复兴本质论的内在实在论进路。奥斯汀等人援引分析的形而上学传统,拒斥休谟主义自然律教条,主张相关研究不单是形而上学决定的事,还须提供具体的经验理论,即主张“存在着经验发现的本质(性质)”。他将倾向性质、因果势、类本质论等本体论问题与模块化发育的结构主义相连,小心避开任何朴素形式的遗传还原论,努力提供一种新颖的经验获知的形而上学动力系统,为相关研究提供概念基础。奥斯汀指称的表型调控倾向性作为古代“潜能”概念的当代形式,对“目标导向”的发育起着本体论开关的作用;其凭借上游信号输入与下游靶基因调控之间的共变关系而在功能上获得定义,这也是发育可塑性与深层同源现象的因果基础。As the research of scientific essentialism and Evo-Devo goes further,there is an internal realism approach to revive essentialism in contemporary biological philosophy.Austin and others,citing the tradition of analytic metaphysics,rejected hume doctrine of nature laws,and argued that relevant re-search shouldn’t only be determined by metaphysics,but also provide specific empirical theory,that is to say,“there is the essence(properties)which is discovered through experience”.He connected the onto-logical problems of dispositional property,causal power,and kind-essence with the structuralism of mod-ular development,avoided carefully any naive form of genetic reductionism,and tried to provide a novel experience-learned metaphysical dynamic system.And a conceptual basis is provided for related re-search.As a contemporary form of the ancient concept of“dunamis”,the phenomodulatory dispositional properties acted as an ontological switch for the development of“goal-direct”;its function was defined by the covariant relationship between upstream signal input and downstream target gene regulation,which was the causal basis of developmental plasticity and deep homology.
