@方舟子:埃及亚历山大图书馆馆馆长6月3日在美国《科学》发表社论《科学的价值》:“与极端主义战斗最好不是通过审查或独裁,而是通过多元化和用观念战胜观念。对此科学很有发言权,特别是对真正开放和民主的社会所需要的价值而言,因为这些是科学的价值。”
The Values of Science
Ismail Serageldin
Summary
In Egypt and Tunisia, ordinary citizens have toppled autocrats; elsewhere in the Arab World, they still battle dictators, armed with little more than their belief in freedom, human rights, and democracy. What sort of society comes after the revolution? Many fear that the idealism of the revolutionary democrats will only pave the way for theological autocrats who preach an intolerant doctrine. But fighting extremism is best done not by censorship or autocracy but by embracing pluralism and defeating ideas with ideas. And here, science has much to say, particularly about the values that are needed for societies to be truly open and democratic, because these are the values of science.
