摘要

在《星际迷航:发现号》第一季的三集《背景是国王的》、《屠刀不在乎羔羊的哭泣》和《选择你的痛苦》中，当星际舰队的科学家与士兵发生冲突时，星际舰队的混合性质变得明显起来。把一种可能有感知能力的类似水熊虫的生物作为军事资源对待的命令，本质上是奴役和活体解剖，这使得科学伦理受到战略价值的影响。在每一集中，科学家和士兵之间的一对单独的配对发展，他们都批评了相互竞争的哲学，并作为这种历史冲突的隐喻。

Ethics, Experimentalism, and Hybrid Purpose: Navigating Science and the Military in Star Trek: Discovery

abstract:In "Context Is for Kings," "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry," and "Choose Your Pain," three season one episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, the hybrid nature of Starfleet becomes apparent when its scientists come into conflict with its soldiers. The order to treat a potentially sentient tardigrade-like creature as a military resource, subject to what is essentially slavery and vivisection, makes scientific ethics subject to strategic value. In each episode, a separate pairing between scientist and soldier develops, which both critiques the competing philosophies and acts as a metaphor for historical conflicts of this kind.
