71.
As a romantic teenager, I believed that my future life as a scientist would be justified if I could discover a single new fact and add a brick to the bright temple of human knowledge. The conviction was noble enough; the metaphor was simply silly. Yet that metaphor still governs the attitude of many scientists toward their subject.
72.
In the conventional model of scientific "progress ", we begin in superstitious ignorance and move toward final truth by the successive accumulation of facts. In this smug perspective, the history of science contains little more than anecdotal interest--for it can only chronicle past errors and credit the bricklayers for discerning glimpses of final truth. It is as transparent a.s an old-fashioned melodrama: truth (as we perceive it today) is the only arbiter and the world of past scientists is divided into good guys who were right and bad guys who were wrong.
73.
Historians of science have utterly discredited this model during the past decade. Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors. Changes in theory are not simply the derivative results of new discoveries but the work of creative imagination influenced by contemporary social and political forces. We should not judge the past through anachronistic spectacles of our own convictions--designating as heroes the scientists whom we judge to be right by criteria that had nothing to do with their own concerns.
We are simply foolish if we call Anaximander (sixth century B. C.) an evolutionist because, in advocating a primary role for water among the four elements, he held that life first inhabited the sea; yet most textbooks so credit him. [br]
选项
答案
就科学“进步”的常规模式而言,我们始于迷信和无知,然后通过连续不断地积累事实,迈向最后的真理。从这种自我陶醉的观点来看,科学史上没有多少超出对趣闻轶事感兴趣的东西,因为它只能记述过去的错误,赞扬砌砖工人发现了最后真理的光芒。它像一部古老的情节剧那样显而易见,正如我们今天所觉察的那样,真理是唯一的仲裁者。因此,过去的科学家分为说得正确的好人和说得不对的坏人。
