儒家哲学与中国古代科技

The Philosophy of Confucian and Ancient Science and Technology in China

儒家哲学作为中国古老智慧与创造的精神源泉,缘于以早期农耕文化为典型的社会结构和思维模式,在特定的农业文明阶段能够与科学技术发展形成良性互动关系。囿于传统哲学思维的某些局限性,中国近代科技在长时期内难以做出显著成就。因此,中国文化要发展自己的优秀传统,并走向现代化,必然要从纯哲学的角度考察自己的思维定势,并剔除原始的迷信因素和宗法影响,从神秘主义哲学走向完全科学化,为现代科技发展提供必要的精神道德的动力。

As spiritual resources of Chinese wisdom and creation, the philosophy of Confucian, which was originated the social structure and thinking mode from the early agricultural culture, could evolved a virtuous interactive relationship at the certain stage of agricultural civilization. Owing to some limitations of the traditional philosophy thinking, Chinese modern science and technology has not obtained remarkable achievement for a long period of time. To develop it＇s own excellent tradition and advance towards modernization, Chinese culture should inspect thinking mode, abandon primitive superstition elements and patriarchal influences, move towards science from the mysticism philosophy, and provide necessary dynamic of spiritual ethic for the development of modern science and technology.
