论戊戌维新派对科学方法的探讨

On the Scientific Methods of the Reformation Group

戊戌维新时期，维新派的代表人物对西方的“科学方法”进行了认真的探讨，在思想上实现了前所未有的两个飞跃：其一，接受西方的逻辑方法和实验方法，并把两者有机地结合起来；其二，运用他们所理解的“科学方法”研究中国的社会和政治，为变法维新服务，取得了重大收获。这种探讨，有助于思想的解放，有助于科学知识的传播，增强了维新理论的战斗力，对五四运动时期倡导科学精神起了先导的作用，在中国思想史上具有划时代的意义。

During the Wu-Xu Reformation period, the members of the Reformation Group study the Western scientific methods and bring about two unprecedented leaps in the Chinese thought of science. Firstly, the Reformation Group accept the Western logical and experimental methods, and integrate these two methods organically. Secondly, the group use the scientific methods in the study of Chinese social and political affairs and make great harvests. The studies have made many contributions to both the thinking liberation and the spreading of the scientific spirit in China, and play a great role in advocating the scientific spirit during the“May Fourth Movement”,and has an epoch-making significance in the Chinese history of thinking.
