中文简介:
1946年,Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar在芝加哥大学做了一次题为“科学家”的演讲,当时他35岁,还不到半生,也不到他作为科学家职业生涯的三分之一,但他已经深刻地思考了他的工作的意义和目的。他的演讲是当时大学校长罗伯特·哈钦斯组织的一系列公开演讲之一。演讲者名单令人印象深刻,包括弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特、阿诺德·勋伯格和马克·夏加尔。这个清单证明了两件事。这表明,哈钦斯是一个具有非凡说服力的印象深刻的人,他已经承认钱德拉是一个世界级的艺术家,他的媒介恰好是宇宙的理论,而不是音乐或绘画。我之所以说“钱德拉”,是因为他的朋友们在他活着的时候就用这个名字称呼他。
课程简介: In 1946 Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar gave a talk at the University of Chicago entitled “The Scientist.” He was then 35 years old, less than halfway through his life and less than a third of the way through his career as a scientist, but already he was reflecting deeply on the meaning and purpose of his work. His talk was one of a series of public lectures organized by Robert Hutchins, then the chancellor of the university. The list of speakers is impressive, and included Frank Lloyd Wright, Arnold Schoenberg, and Marc Chagall. That list proves two things. It shows that Hutchins was an impresario with remarkable powers of persuasion, and that he already recognized Chandra as a world-class artist whose medium happened to be theories of the universe rather than music or paint. I say “Chandra” because that is the name his friends used for him when he was alive.
关 键 词: 钱德拉; 科学家; 人物历史
