在这篇文章中,我们批判性地回顾了欧盟和英国在科学与公众之间的调解方面的政策、实践和哲学方面的最新发展,特别是着重于当前的公众对科学和技术的理解(PEST)范式,该范式试图背离与先前范式相关的科学信息传播,并制定一种协商民主模式。我们首先概述当前民主危机的特点,并讨论作为对这场危机的回应的协商民主。然后,我们规划并批判性地审查了欧盟和英国背景下公共科学调解最近的政策发展的大致轮廓,重点是向协商-民主模式的转变。最后,我们对公共科学调解中民主、平等、科学和非正式教学之间的复杂相互关系进行了一些批判性的思考。我们认为,科学和民主在不同的价值领域中运作,这些价值领域不一定彼此一致。我们还对目前普遍忽视传播科学信息的做法提出质疑,认为这不利于民主参与,并主张在协商民主的框架内重新评估非正式科学学习对“外行”公众的作用和重要性,这种民主不能简化为建立共识或仅仅表达植根于社会和文化赋予的观点。我们认为,这可以通过一种具有创造性和实验性的PEST模式来实现,既具有教育功能,也具有民主功能。
In this paper we critically review recent developments in policies, practices and philosophies pertaining to the mediation between science and the public within the EU and the UK, focusing in particular on the current paradigm of Public Understanding of Science and Technology (PEST) which seeks to depart from the science information-transmission associated with previous paradigms, and enact a deliberative democracy model. We first outline the features of the current crisis in democracy and discuss deliberative democracy as a response to this crisis. We then map out and critically review the broad outlines of recent policy developments in public-science mediation in the EU and UK contexts, focusing on the shift towards the deliberative-democratic model. We conclude with some critical thoughts on the complex interrelationships between democracy, equality, science and informal pedagogies in public-science mediations. We argue that science and democracy operate within distinct value-spheres that are not necessarily consonant with each other. We also problematize the now common dismissal of information-transmission of science as inimical to democratic engagement, and argue for a reassessment of the role and importance of informal science learning for the “lay” public, provided within the framework of a deliberative democracy that is not reducible to consensus building or the mere expression of opinions rooted in social and cultural givens. This, we argue, can be delivered by a model of PEST that is creative and experimental, with both educational and democratic functions.
