浪漫:科学理性的必备要素

Romance:the essential component ofscientific rationality

当科学理性以数学确定性为基础时,浪漫要素就会被排除,这使科学理性有了人文式微的风险。然而,例如激情、自由、想象等浪漫要素,恰是科学理性不可缺少的部分。重新认识科学理性的“浪漫”,将有利于引导当代数字技术向好向善发展,实现技术关怀人类的初衷。如果尝试通过宣传教育和制度构建的方式,推动科学理性观从结果导向变为过程导向,就可能促使浪漫回到科学理性。

When scientific rationality is based on mathematical certainty,the romantic elements are excluded,which poses a risk of humanistic decline for scientific rationality.However,romantic elements such as passion,freedom,and imagination are essential parts of scientific rationality.Recognizing the“romance”aspect ofscientific rationality will be beneficial in guiding contemporary digital technology to develop towards goodnessand achieve the original intention of technology caring for humanity.If we try to promote the shift of scientificrationality view from result-oriented to process-oriented through propaganda,education,and institutionalconstruction,it may lead to a romantic return to scientific rationality.
