建国前西方科学哲学在我国传播研究述评

Review on the Study of Spread of Western Scientific Philosophy before the Founding of PRC

19世纪40年代,广义的西方科学哲学包括逻辑学、分析哲学、实验主义哲学等作为西方文化的重要组成部分开始在中国传播。当前国内关于建国前西方科学哲学在我国传播的研究主要是通过哲学史的方式进行考察,它散见于各类西学东渐史研究中。存在的主要问题有:对西方科学哲学在我国的传播以具体微观的史实描述为主,缺乏宏观全面综合的把握。以科学哲学传播主体的纵向列举为主,而横向对比分析研究略显不足。部分研究只是流于科学哲学传播的文献整理和史实陈述,从哲学层面和内在逻辑深层把握西方科学哲学传播的规律及动力机制方面,有待加强。部分研究重传播历史研究,轻影响研究;并且对于科学哲学传播在中国产生的学术影响与社会影响,缺乏专门的系统的论述。

As an important part of western culture, western scientific philosophy, in a broad sense, including logic, analytic phi-losophy and experimentalism philosophy, began to spread in China in 1840 s. The existent study about the spread of western scientific philosophy in our country before the foundation of PRC is mainly through historical way of philosophy, which can be sparsely found in the research of dissemination of western learning to the orient. Nevertheless, there are also some problems.Firstly, the study mainly relies on the description of specific and micro history details and cannot grasp from the macroscopic perspective. Secondly, it focuses on longitudinally enumerating entities that spreading scientific philosophy thus reveals a weakness in the transverse comparison and analyses. Thirdly, most of the study was done by sorting out and compiling documents and historical detail description, thus the study about the spread of western scientific philosophy needs to be strengthened from philosophic and logical aspect. What's more, an overwhelming majority of the studies have paid too much attention to the spread history, whereas overlooked the research of its impact. Consequently, it lacked specific and systematic discussion about the academic and social impact which caused by the spread of western scientific philosophy.
