关于我国科普时代与科学文化时代的思考

On Science Popularization Era and Culture of Science Era in China

中国社会已从急迫抓经济、抓物质供给的生存战略目标,转向抓结构失衡、抓文化与精神资源供给不充分的美好生活战略目标。换言之,已从极典型的"快阶段"向抓平衡的"慢阶段"转型。回顾历史,新中国由来已久的科普事业一直特别强调即时性和时效性,而当前发展阶段的新兴科学文化建设诉求则特别关注价值观的养成与耐性坚持。在新的科学文化时代,突破科学共同体的内向主体性,打造因应"人民日益增长的美好生活需要"的价值理念与行动方案转型,是科普与科学文化的共同使命。据此,本文提出了基于科学文化建设行动网络的五大工程:科学精神理念工程、科学文化传播工程、科学文化制度规范工程、科学文化设施普惠工程、科学活动的全民参与工程。

China has witnessed a transformation of strategic goals from striving for economic development and material supply to seeking a balanced social structure and sufficient supply of cultural and spiritual resources so as to achieve a better life. Hence,a focus on strikingly speedy development has been transferred to a comparatively slower phase in which balanced development is emphasized. Ever since the founding of the People's Republic of China,science popularization practice has long been pursuing instant effectiveness,while for the emerging culture of science,values and perseverance have been highlighted. In the new era,culture of science commands that scientific communities should no longer be enclosed as ivory tower,but take up the commission endowed by science popularization and culture of science:tofulfill the public's increasing needs for a better life and to take corresponding actions. For this purpose,the paper proposes five inter-related major projects aiming to promote the culture of science, namely,scientific spirit promotion project,scientific culture communication project,scientific culture regulation project,scientific culture infrastructure construction project,and the project encouraging the public's participation in scientific activities.
