Scientific Anxiety As Literary Material / 科学焦虑作为文学材料

Scientific anxiety as literary material names the source’s pattern where new or unsettled science becomes story pressure. In 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代, electricity, corpse movement, anatomy, spontaneous generation, and life-principle debate are not footnotes to [[Frankenstein|《弗兰肯斯坦》]]; they make the novel’s creation scene exciting and frightening at once.

The concept also keeps the episode from becoming anti-science. Anxiety here is not proof that science should stop. It is a signal that discovery has social, bodily, and ethical consequences that literature can stage before institutions know how to govern them.

Key Claims

• Scientific anxiety arises when apparatus and claims move faster than settled interpretation or social trust.
• Literature can preserve fear without turning fear into simple rejection of science.
• The anxiety becomes useful when it asks who is harmed, who is abandoned, who gets evidence, and who owes care after creation.
