Abstract

In 1971 Lord (Victor) Rothschild published his report for the government, The organisation and management of government R&D, and Sir Peter Medawar launched a campaign for the election of Sir Karl Popper to Fellowship of the Royal Society. We explore these two developments in the contexts of the then current views of the role and purpose of science, and their underpinning philosophy. Although the political battle was won by Rothschild, resulting in major changes to the funding and management of applied R&D, we argue that, despite this, Medawar's campaign for Popper provided an embattled science community with a philosophical basis for defending pure research and the unity of basic and applied science.

科学统一的逻辑?梅达沃,皇家学会和罗斯柴尔德1971-72年的争论
1971年,(维克多)罗斯柴尔德勋爵为政府发表了他的报告《政府研发的组织和管理》,彼得·梅达沃爵士发起了一场运动,选举卡尔·波普尔爵士为皇家学会会员。我们在当时关于科学的作用和目的的观点及其基础哲学的背景下探讨这两个发展。尽管政治斗争是由罗斯柴尔德赢得的,导致了应用研发的资金和管理方面的重大变化,但我们认为,尽管如此,梅达沃为波普尔发起的运动为陷入困境的科学界提供了捍卫纯粹研究和基础科学与应用科学统一的哲学基础。
