爱因斯坦关于科学与真善美之间关系的思想--兼评学术界对科学与真善美之间关系的研究

摘要

科学与真、善、美之间的关系，在学术界一直存有争议。一些学者认为，在科学中直接蕴涵着真、善、美的内容。但是，在爱因斯坦的思想中，科学之真，即由科学的概念体系所表征的实在的外在世界，是科学家运用他们的思维理智地构造出来的；科学与道德，即科学与善分属于两个不同领域，它们之间的关系是非常间接的；科学与美的关系，包括在哲学信仰和科学认识论两个方面之中。在爱因斯坦评价科学理论的标准中，不存在一个所谓的“美学标准”。%Relationship between science and the true,the good and the beautiful is a subject the academic circle is inter-ested in.Some scholars believe that science directly includes the true,the good and the beautiful.But Einstein believes that the true of science refers to the realistic outward world characterized by scientific concept system,and that the true of science is a result of rational thinking of scientists.Science and morality or the Good fall into two different categories which connect indirectly.Relationship between science and the beautiful are represented by philosophical belief and sci-entific epistemology.There is no aesthetic standard in Einstein’s standard on scientific theories.
