克服学术功利化倾向,促进基础研究健康发展

OVERCOMING THE UTILITARIAN TENDENCY OF DOING SCIENCE AND PROMOTING THE HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF BASIC RESEARCH

基础研究厚积薄发,其探索性、长期性、难以预测性等特点要求基础研究工作者努力避免急功近利和短期行为。学术功利化的倾向也是建设现代科学文化应当克服的消极因素,是与基础研究所要求的科学传统、科学精神背道而驰的。本文分析了学术功利化的表现形式、危害及原因,提出了克服学术功利化倾向、促进基础研究健康发展的建议。

Basic research is an enterprise of profound accumulation and gradual delivery, and the exploratory, long- term, unpredictable nature of which requires the researchers to avoid the quick profit and short-term behavior. The utilitarian tendency of doing science, a negative factor, should be overcome in the construction of modern science and culture, which also runs counter to the scientific tradition and scientific spirit required by the basic research. This paper analyzes the performance, harm and reasons of utilitarian tendency of doing science, and puts forward some proposals to overcome it and promote the healthy development of basic research.
