摘要

是不是有些宇宙学家试图让人类回到宇宙的中心?在一些批评家看来，所谓的“人择原理”是在几个世纪以来被科学贬低之后，为拯救我们这个物种的一点尊严而做的孤注一掷的尝试。这是所有陈旧和落后的东西——目的论、神学、宗教、人类中心主义——试图在科学的伪装下偷偷溜回来。我们认为这是一个错误。人择原理不仅仅是人类的傲慢，也不是伪装的宗教。它是宇宙科学的必要组成部分。

The trouble with “puddle thinking:” a user’s guide to the Anthropic Principle

Are some cosmologists trying to return human beings to the centre of the cosmos? In the view of some critics, the so-called"anthropic principle"is a desperate attempt to salvage a scrap of dignity for our species after a few centuries of demotion at the hands of science. It is all things archaic and backwards - teleology, theology, religion, anthropocentrism - trying to sneak back in scientific camouflage. We argue that this is a mistake. The anthropic principle is not mere human arrogance, nor is it religion in disguise. It is a necessary part of the science of the universe.

期刊介绍： The Society''s journal is one of the oldest peer-reviewed publications in the Southern Hemisphere. Much innovative research of the 19th and early 20th centuries was first brought to the attention of the scientific world through the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales. In the last few decades specialist journals have become preferred for highly technical work but the Journal and Proceedings remains an important publication for multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary work. The Journal and Proceedings is exchanged with many institutions worldwide. Currently issues are usually published around June and December each year, although a single December issue appeared in 2016.
