科学与种族相关吗?——以爱因斯坦与“犹太科学”为例

Is Science Related to Race?——Taking Einstein and Jewish Science as an Example

在众多研究爱因斯坦及其科学理论的维度中,从种族的维度进行的研究显得非常特别。文章概述了从种族的角度对爱因斯坦进行研究的几种代表性观点,认为他们的论证并不足以证明科学与种族相关,而主要服务于政治目的或种族偏见。从方法论的角度看,即使爱因斯坦的科学研究风格受到了犹太传统的影响,也不足以称其为"犹太科学"。科学研究是一项客观的事业,科学的客观性使得论证科学的种族性的各种尝试不可能取得成功。

Many scholars study Einstein from various dimensions while the dimension of race is unusual. This paper elaborates some typical opinions and argues that these opinions, which arose from the political aim or racist preju- dice, do not suffice to show that science is related to race. Even if the scientific style of Einstein is influenced by Ju- daism,we can＇t call his theory ＂Jewish science＂. Science is objective and it is objectivity that ensures science has nothing to do with race. All attempts that advocate racist science will fail.
