摘要

科学是对可观察世界真相的探索。但这取决于价值观。唯一能通过观察发现的是眼前的事物。否则,关于可观察世界的知识是建立在对他人观察的道听途说、口头或记录的基础上的。除了微小而短暂的观察,科学还建立在信任之上。我们的科学生活和科学知识取决于选择信任谁和什么。由于我们最多只能见到少数科学家,我们必须决定是否信任科学作为一个机构。科学是一个很好的选择,因为它的目的是创造真理,也许是在死后;真理既是目的,也是手段。在当今世界,科学作为对民主权力的制衡和决策者的实物课程至关重要。做好事,诚实地说,科学就是在民粹主义面前支持民主。

The most important thing about science is values
ABSTRACT Science is the search for truth about the observable world. But it rests on values. The only thing that can be discovered by observation is the immediate here and now. Otherwise, knowledge about the observable world is based on hearsay, spoken or recorded, about others' observations. Apart from small and fleeting observations, science rests on trust. Our scientific lives and scientific knowledge depend on choosing who and what to trust. Since we can meet only a few scientists at best, we have to decide whether to trust science as an institution. Science is a good bet because its aim is to create truth, perhaps posthumously; truth is its end as well as its means. In today's world, science is vitally important as a check and balance on democratic power and an object lesson for decision-makers. To do good, honest, science is to support democracy in the face of populism.
