The expectation that science is a stable body of relatively objective knowledge on which the law can draw to settle legal controversies may seem benign. However, this expectation often corresponds to a romantic notion of the scientific enterprise and thereby eclipses not only the instabilities and controversies within science itself, but also the social and rhetorical aspects of even the best science. We see the idealization of science in law whenever there is a presumption that if two scientific experts disagree, one of them must be a “junk scientist”, This presumption ignores the theoretical presuppositions and limitations of data that lead to genuine scientific disputes. We also see the idealization of science in law whenever we associate “bias, interest, and motivation” with unreliable expertise. This association missed the practical advances made by
scientists who have strong theoretical biases, institutional interests, and financial motivations.
Finally, we see the idealization of science in law whenever a legislator, administrator, or judge demands certainty from science, not recognizing its probabilistic nature and dynamic history. It is neither a critique of scientific progress nor an exaggeration to acknowledge scientific debates, the conventional aspects of scientific methodology, the importance of networking and “social capital” with respect to publications and grants, and the persuasive elements in scientific discourse. To think that these features are somehow markers of bad science is to idealize science. [br] The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项
A、explain why a particular view of science is problematic
B、account for the prevalence of a particular view of science
C、present a debate about the nature of scientific knowledge
D、suggest that scientific evidence cannot resolve legal disputes
E、examine flaws in a particular approach to resolving scientific disputes
答案
A
解析
a particular view of science指科学被理想化。全文都是在反驳这一观点,因此选项A正确。B项文中未提及prevalence。C项本文没有呈现辩论,因为本文立场很明确,那就是科学被理想化,科学应该具有争议性、社会性和不稳定的特征。D项将科学用于解决法律争议只是第一句中的细节。E项文中未提及a particular approach。
