对本土知识价值评估失实的社会与文化原因剖析

Analysis on Social and Cultural Reasons of the Untruthfulness of Value Assessment on Indigenous Knowledge

自从本土知识这一概念引入学界以来,不少学人都致力于本土知识的研究。尽管作了大量的研究工作,但社会各界对本土知识价值的评估却总不免失实,造成偏颇的原因虽然很多,但总不会超出社会与文化两大范畴。探明其原因所在,不仅有助于本土知识和技术的发掘利用,还可望成为发现生态问题频繁发生的原因所在,只需换一个思路,价值评估的失实反而可以成为发现生态问题的标识和指南。

Since indigenous knowledge has been studied by the academia,many scholars devote themselves to its research. However,assessment of value of indigenous knowledge from all sectors of society is inconsistent with facts. There are many causes which are not beyond society and culture. Exploring its reasons is useful for making use of indigenous knowledge and skills,and for finding reasons why ecological problems happen frequently. Through changing thinking,value assessment inconsistent with facts can become identification and guidance of finding ecological problems.
