中国知识分子对现代知识体系的批判性反思——以20世纪30年代《再生》为个案

A Reflective Criticism of Modern Knowledge System by Chinese Intellectuals:As Shown in The National Renaissance of 1930s

20世纪30年代,承接"科玄论战"的余绪,"科学"问题又一度泛起,张君劢等人拾起"科玄论战"中被搁置的话题,更加审慎地思考中国现代知识体系的建立和发展,以胡适为假想的争论对手,围绕"知识的建设与破坏",对"科学派"展开系统批判,并思考什么样的知识体系更宜于民族建国的进程。这场论争没有正面的冲突,但其背后所体现的思想史意义至今仍值得我们深思,这关乎科学和道德在整个知识体系中的地位,也关乎学术和人类在民族建国过程中自身的现代化问题。

In 1930s,philosophers like Zhang Jun-mai picked up what had been suspended in the science vs metaphysics debate,with a closer scrutiny into Chinese modern knowledge system.They took the school of science represent by Hu Shi as their shadow target of criticism,focusing on the construction of knowledge favorable to the nation.They insisted that science and morality should both be emphasized,and this is really a weighty issue concerning the value of science and human existence in the modernization today.
