墨家中绝与我国科学思维缺失的思考

Pondering on the Extinction of the Mohist School and the Deficiency of Scientific Thinking in China

墨家是我国古代最重视科学的一个学派,其科学思想有自己的独特体系并且体现出了与现代科学思想的惊人吻合。然而秦汉之后墨家因种种原因竟成为绝学,这致使原本应属于我国优秀传统文化中重要一员的科学传统遭到排挤和冷落,直接导致了我国科学思维的缺失,以至于在现代科学技术领域我国一直处于追随者的被动地位。本文从我国科学思维缺失的表现出发,在分析墨家科技思想的基础上明确了墨家中绝与我国科学思维的缺失之间的必然关系。

The Mohist School is the school that attached the most importance to science in Ancient China. Its scientific thinking possesses its distinct system and is consistent with modern scientific thinking. However, due to various reasons, it became a lost knowledge after Qin and Han Dynasties, resulting in the marginalization of scientific tradition, which should be an important member of China＇s excellent traditional culture. This also directly caused the deficiency of scientific thinking in China, and made China＇s modern science and technology a follower of other countries. Starting from the manifestations of the deficiency of scientific thinking in China, this paper analyzes the scientific and technological thinking of the Mohist School, and elucidates the inevitable relationship between the extinction of the Mohist School and the deficiency of scientific thinking in China.
