摘要

伊尔丝·罗森塔尔-施耐德(1891-1990)是1938年移民到澳大利亚的难民,曾是诺贝尔物理学奖得主爱因斯坦、普朗克和冯·劳的学生。她既有物理学背景,尤其是相对论,又有对知识本质和可能性的哲学关注。除了在悉尼大学(University of Sydney)教授理工科学生如何认识学科中的哲学问题外,她还在新南威尔士州的地方城镇推行了一个重大的推广项目,在那里,她被观众称为fêted,是一位非常有成就的科学传播者。她最著名的书出版于1980年,书中详述了她与爱因斯坦、普朗克和冯·劳的互动,并进一步阐述了他们是如何理解科学与哲学之间的关系的。罗森塔尔-施耐德从未获得广泛认可,部分原因是她所处的时代女性的机会有限,但也因为她坚持跨学科交流,并在学术界之外参与科学和哲学对话。我们将展示Rosenthal-Schneider在她的一生中如何探索科学和哲学的边界,因为她主张哲学问题与澳大利亚的实践科学家和非学术公众的相关性。

‘The border problems of science and philosophy’: Ilse Rosenthal-Schneider and post-World War 2 science in Australian academia and society

Ilse Rosenthal-Schneider (1891–1990), a refugee immigrant to Australia in 1938, was a student of Nobel Prize-winning physicists, Einstein, Planck, and von Laue. She combined a background in physics, especially relativity theory, with a philosophical focus on the nature and possibilities of knowledge. As well as working at the University of Sydney to teach science students how to recognise philosophical issues in their subjects, she drove a major outreach programme to regional towns in New South Wales, where she was fêted by her audiences as a highly accomplished science communicator. Her best-known book, published in 1980, examined her interactions with Einstein, Planck, and von Laue by expanding on how all of them understood the relationship between science and philosophy. Rosenthal-Schneider never achieved a great deal of recognition, due in part to the limited opportunities for women of her era, but also due to her insistence on bridging disciplines and engaging in a scientific and philosophical dialogue beyond academia. We will show how Rosenthal-Schneider explored the borderlands of science and philosophy throughout her life, as she argued for the relevance of philosophical questions to practising scientists and non-academic publics in Australia.

期刊介绍: Historical Records of Australian Science is a bi-annual journal that publishes two kinds of unsolicited manuscripts relating to the history of science, pure and applied, in Australia, New Zealand and the southwest Pacific. Historical Articles–original scholarly pieces of peer-reviewed research Historical Documents–either hitherto unpublished or obscurely published primary sources, along with a peer-reviewed scholarly introduction. The first issue of the journal (under the title Records of the Australian Academy of Science), appeared in 1966, and the current name was adopted in 1980.
