Despite the vast array of theoretical formulations now available, none is sufficiently well developed. Some of the philosophical questions thrown up by such material are posed. Under the heading of "Discourse," the questions of what constitutes reasonableness and how logical validity is established are raised. Under the heading of "Epistemology," the nature of concept formulation and causality is raised. Under the heading of "Language," the nature of linguistic representation and artificially constructed language or "artificial intelligence" is raised. It is suggested that these and other issues in the philosophy of science require the urgent attention of family therapy theorists.
尽管现在有大量的理论表述，但没有一个得到充分发展。文中提出了这类材料引发的一些哲学问题。在“话语”这一标题下，提出了什么构成合理性以及如何确立逻辑有效性的问题。在“认识论”这一标题下，提出了概念形成的本质和因果关系的问题。在“语言”这一标题下，提出了语言表征的本质以及人工构建的语言或“人工智能”的问题。有人认为，科学哲学中的这些及其他问题需要家庭治疗理论家给予迫切关注。
