当科学遭遇“他者”

When the science encounters “the others”

按"自治"的理想预设,科学是科学共同体自己的事。但事实上,科学的演化始终伴随着与"他者"之间的纠纷,从宗教团体、人文学者到政府和产业,以及当今的社会公众,科学活动始终伴随着与"他者"的纠缠,产生不同类型的价值冲突与社会争议。科学的社会治理要求科学共同体不再把传统意义上的"他者"视为科学价值的破坏者,而是协作者。然而,民粹主义的抬头,使治理转型陷入两难困境。因而,要落实"大众创新"的国策,不仅需要公众理解科学,同时也需要科学理解公众。

According to the ideal premise of ＂ autonomy＂ , science is the business only in the scientific communities. In fact, during the whole process of the evolution of the science, there are many conflicts between the science itself and ＂ the others＂ religious groups, humanists, governments, industries and the public which resulting in many kinds of value disputes and social controversies. The social governance of science requires scientific communities not to view ＂ the others＂ as the destroyers of scientific values any more, but as the collaborators. However, the rise of populism put this transformation into a dilemma. Therefore, performing the national policy of the＂Public Innovation＂ not only need the public understand the science, but also need the scientists understand the public.
