The paper examines the ruputation of C.S. Sherrington as both eminent physiologist and eminent representative of scientific culture. It describes Sherrington's 'figurehead' status. In his career, research and personal manner, he embodied a life of science, not only in opposition to humanistic values but in fact appearing to be the highest achievement of those values. An analysis of Sherrington's research, of his lectures on Man on His Nature and of his poetry supports this account. The paper uses Sherrington's reputation to describe the values of an establishment group of English-speaking scientists and physicians in the 1930s and 1940s.
本文考察了C.S. 谢灵顿作为杰出生理学家和科学文化杰出代表的声誉。它描述了谢灵顿的“名义领袖”地位。在其职业生涯、研究以及个人风格方面，他体现了一种科学人生，这不仅与人文价值观相对立，而且实际上似乎是这些价值观的最高成就。对谢灵顿的研究、他关于《人的本质》的讲座以及他的诗歌的分析支持了这一观点。本文利用谢灵顿的声誉来描述20世纪30年代和40年代一群讲英语的科学家和医生组成的既得利益集团的价值观。
