国内外马克思主义对“科学技术是第一生产力”两种解读的相关性

"Science and Technology Are Primary Productive Forces": A Comparison Between the Two Interpretations

近代以来,科学技术的发展给人类带来了巨大的变化,面对这样的形势,在前后相差很长的时间里,哈贝马斯和邓小平都提出了一个似乎相同的"科学技术是第一生产力"的命题。通过认真解读,却不难发现,两个命题的实质是截然不同的。哈贝马斯通过论证,全盘否定了科学技术,最终走向了技术悲观主义;而邓小平则认为科技是综合国力竞争中的关键因素,大力提倡发展科技,并提出科教兴国的宏观战略,引导中国经济不断地向前发展。

The development of science and technology has brought huge change to human life. In this background, Haberrnas and Deng Xiaoping have both put forward a seemingly identical proposition： Science and technology are primary productive forces. However, a close reading of their interpretations reveals that Habermas and Deng Xiaoping hold completely different attitudes towards science and technology. Through his reasoning, Habermas thoroughly negated science and technology, while Deng Xiaoping, concluding that science and technology are the crucial elements in comprehensive national strength competition, proposed the macro-strategy of relying on science and education to rejuvenate the nation.
