从李森科事件浅谈科学与民主的关系

On the Relationship between Science and Democracy from the Case of Trofim Lysenko

20世纪30年代李森科作为农业科学家在政治与强权的帮助下以“伪科学”指导农业生产,致使苏联的分子生物学及遗传学降到了最低谷。“李森科事件”反映的就是没有将科学与民主结合,少数正直的科学受到打压,“伪科学”的盛行使得苏联生物科学的发展一度停滞不前。本文主要是从“李森科事件”来论述科学与民主的关系及民主对于发展科学的重要性。科学与民主是相辅相成的关系,又是相互促进的作用,只有好好运用这两者的关系才能将社会建设得更好。

In the 1930s,Trofim Lysenko,as an agricultural scientist with the help of politics and power,directed agricultural production with“pseudoscience”,which led to the lowest level of molecular biology and genetics in the Soviet Union.The"Trofim Lysenko incident"reflected the failure to combine science with democracy,the suppression of a few honest sciences,and the prevalence of“pseudoscience”which caused the Soviet Union's biological science to stagnate.This paper mainly discussed the relationship between science and democracy and the importance of democracy to the development of science from the“Trofim Lysenko event”.Science and democracy complement each other and promote each other,and only by making good use of the relationship between the two could we build a better society.
