“赫森论点”真实意图考

苏联科学问题研究专家格雷厄姆教授提出赫森论点的真实意图可能与文本含义恰恰相反,针对这一观点,本研究通过对赫森生平和前期论文的回顾,辅之1931年以后赫森与英国科学作家克劳瑟的往来书信,认为格雷厄姆教授的猜想是站不住脚的,没有证据表明赫森事实上不同意自己在1931年论文中表达的观点。但赫森的论文在屈从政治压力的同时仍与苏联当时的主流观点保持了距离。绕开《原理》中的科学知识内容,批评其神学内容的社会根源也是一种避重就轻的斗争策略,是对自然科学内核的一种变相保护,在这个意义上赫森的前后工作并没有完全断裂。

A Textual Criticism on the Real Intent of Hessen thesis

There is a creative point putting forward by an American science historian,L.R.Graham that the real intent of Hessen thesis is opposite to its literal meaning.In this paper,we examine all Hessen's life,his early works,and his correspondence with J.G Crowther,a British science reporter to prove that Professor Graham's conjecture is untenable.There is no evidence to say that Hessen did not agree with his own point expressed in 1931's paper.Hessen thesis was indeed a yielding to political pressure in part,but ...
