我从未试图在任何场合取悦别人 《爱因斯坦全集》第十三卷读后

I Never Tried to Ingratiate Myself Anywhere After reading of the Chinese version of volume 13 of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein

《爱因斯坦全集》第十三卷的时间跨度从1922年初到1923年3月。这段时间,爱因斯坦获得了诺贝尔奖,发表了数十篇文章,写了几百封信,与众多名人显贵见面,写下了"访问日本、巴勒斯坦和西班牙日记",几乎有7个月身处柏林之外。爱因斯坦已过了他在科学上的创作高峰,但学术上仍十分活跃。他正走在一条超级学术明星的路上,深深地卷入了犹太复国主义的运动;与少数志同道合者合作,试图力挽狂澜地恢复国际间的科学合作,让他所崇尚的"学者共和国"再现。他对日本的访问,无论对日本社会,还是他本人,都带来了强烈震撼。他在中国短暂停留期间留下的日记更让他日后被指责为"种族主义者"。本文基于《全集》的有关内容,分别介绍了爱因斯坦的犹太复国主义观,学术共同体理想、日本的学术之旅,受到有关的种族主义指责,以及他的家务事。

The volume 13 of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein(CPAE)spans the period from early 1922 to March 1923.During this period,Einstein won the Nobel Prize,published dozens of articles,wrote hundreds of letters,met with many prominent people,wrote"Travel Diary of Japan,Palestine and Spain,"and spent almost seven months outside of Berlin.Einstein was past his scientific creative peak,but still very active academically.He was on the road to superstardom,deeply involved in the Zionist movement,working with a handful of like-minded people in an attempt to restore international scientific cooperation and bring back the"republic of scholars"that he most cherished.His visit to Japan had a strong impact on both Japanese society and himself.The diary he kept during his brief stay in China was later accused of being a"racist".Based on CPAE,this article describes Einstein’s Zionist outlook,the ideal of academic community,his academic trip to Japan,the accusations of racism,and his family affairs.
