在提高公众的科学意识方面,我们有着共同的兴趣。我们需要探讨现代科学的三个方面:(1)科学提供了一种世界观:我们称之为“科学自然主义”。(2)科学以客观的探索方法为基础,这就是“方法论自然主义”。(3)科技需要在社会的伦理问题中得以运用,这被称为“伦理自然主义”。从根本上来说,科学寻求解释现象的自然原因,通过最佳的科学佐证方法提出假设和理论。这就是它为什么能检验和批判对超常主张和对超自然主义的神秘诉求的原因所在。把科学应用到伦理学在今天具有重大的意义。我们需要向大众传达对科学世界观的理解、对批判性思维的坚持、以及现今对全球伦理学的呼吁。全球伦理学试图发展一套全球适用的、全人类共享的伦理价值。它对地球和环境的保护以及全人类要承担的义务具有特别的意义。
We share a common interest in raising public awareness of science. We need to explore three aspects of modern science: (1) Science provides a worldview: what we call “scientific naturalism.” (2) Science is based on objective methods of exploration, and this is “methodological naturalism.” (3) Science and technology need to be applied in the ethical issues of society. This is called “ethical naturalism.” Fundamentally, science seeks to explain the natural causes of phenomena and proposes assumptions and theories through the best scientific evidence-based method. This is why it examines and critiques the mystical claims and supernatural claims of mystery. Applying science to ethics today is of great importance. We need to communicate to the public the understanding of the scientific worldview, the persistence of critical thinking, and the present call for global ethics. Global ethics seeks to develop a set of globally applicable ethical values shared by all human beings. It has special significance for the protection of the Earth and the environment as well as for all human beings.
