试论自然辩证法

A preliminary study of dialectics of nature

“理论”、“事业”和“学科”是不同的三个概念,历史上的确存在一种由恩格斯开创的“自然辨证法理论”,在我国当代亦存在一项以中国自然辩证法研究会为领导核心的“自然辩证法事业”,但不存在一门“自然辩证法学科”。中国“自然辩证法事业”不如过去景气,主要原因是缺乏自主发展,它所应当重点发展的自然哲学、科学哲学、科学社会学和科学史四大学科均有不尽人意之处。学科要发展需要有范式,建立范式是学科自主发展的前提,而不自主发展就永远不可能有进步。

Theory, enterprise and subject are different concepts. There did exist a 'theory of dialectics of nature' established by Engles in history, and in contemporary China, there is also 'an enterprise of dialectics of nature'under the leadership of Chinese Society for Study of Dialectics of Nature.But there is not such a thing as 'subject of dialectics of nature.' Chinese enterprise of dialectics of nature is not as prosperous as it was in the oast, the main reason (?)erng lack of independent development on the part of such subjects as philosophy of nature, philosophy of science, sociology of science and listory of science, all of which leave much to be desired.
