Wonder is often assumed, without question, to be a good thing. As a response to the world around us, however, wonder is as complex and multifaceted as it is celebrated. This essay attempts to shine a critical light on expressions of wonder that privilege wonder at science and scientific knowledge over and above experiences of wonder in the natural world, as set forth by Richard Dawkins and E. O. Wilson.

对科学事业的好奇对我们以及我们与自然世界的关系有好处吗？

毫无疑问，奇迹通常被认为是一件好事。然而，作为对我们周围世界的回应，奇迹正如人们所庆祝的那样复杂和多方面。正如理查德·道金斯 (Richard Dawkins) 和 EO 威尔逊 (EO Wilson) 所阐述的那样，本文试图对奇迹的表达提出批判性的观点，这种表达使科学和科学知识中的奇迹胜过自然世界中的奇迹体验。
