新冠肺炎疫情下科学家的社会责任问题研究

科学家的社会责任问题存在“科学价值中立说”与“科学家的普遍社会责任说”之争。新冠肺炎疫情下的风险社会中,科学家不能持有“事不关己”的“价值中立”态度,而应担负“普遍责任”,他们是疫情防治中的重要行动者。但是,在一些国家出现了科学研究不严谨、科学研究政治化等科学家社会责任缺失现象。需加强科学理性与价值理性的统一、建立重大疫情科学决策咨询制度、改革科技评价方式、精英决策与民主决策相结合、保持科学研究与政治之间的合理张力。

Study on the Social Responsibility of Scientists in the Pandemic of COVID-19

There is a dispute about scientists' social responsibility:the theory of neutrality of scientific value and the theory of universal social responsibility.Under the risk of COVID-19,scientists shouldn't sit back holding the "value neutrality" attitude,but should bear the "universal responsibility" attitude.They are important actors in the prevention and control of the pandemic.However,in some countries,there has also been a lack of social responsibility,such as less rigorous research by scientists and politicization of scientific research.It is necessary to strengthen the unity of scientific rationality and value rationality,establish a scientific decision-making consultation system for the pandemic situations,reform scientific and technological evaluation systems,combine elite decision-making with democratic decision-making,and maintain a reasonable tension between scientific research and politics.
