科学共同体中的民主策略

Democratic strategy in scientific community

科学共同体中的研究活动符合民主所需要的条件和精神,科学共同体在科学知识生产中并不总是意见一致,而是往往充满了分歧,他们通过基于期刊论文、公共展示和资源压力等策略进行说服活动,根据科学知识共识程度的高低和利益共识程度的高低形成四种共识形式。在后学院科学中,科学共同体发生了新的变化,共识的形成和变化不仅受到利益的影响,而且受到外部压力的影响,民主不仅成为科学共同体中的事实存在,而且成为科学共同体的需要。

Research activities in scientific community have the prerequisites of democracy and necessitate the spirit of democracy in that they often have controversies instead of agreement in the production process of scientific knowledge. The scientific community persuade through strategies of publishing journals,public display and scarce resources. This article explains four kinds of consensus models based on the degree of consensus on scientific knowledge and interests. In the post-academic science times,new changes have filtered into the scientific community,making the consensus influenced not only by different interests,but also pressures outside the scientific community. During this process,democracy is becoming an indispensable as well as a de facto reality for scientific community.
