论五四新文化运动时期的科学主义思潮

On the Trend of Scientism in the May 4th New Cultural Movement

在五四新文化运动过程中,科学主义思潮以其独有的文化价值成为新的信仰体系。科学也被赋予了从科技工具,到人生观,再到国民再造,到民族复兴的多重价值和意义。在这个过程中,以中国传统文化为依托的人生观与科学主义为核心价值的科学观展开了论战,这场论战在中国近代历史上产生了深远的影响。我们要从历史的和当代的角度正确认识和客观评价科学主义思潮,辩证地看待现代科学的发展与中国传统文化的关系,并继承和发扬近代以来知识分子忧国忧民的优良传统和不懈探究世界的可贵精神。

In the process of the May 4th New Cultural Movement, the trend of scientism with its unique cultural value becomes a new belief system, and science is endowed with multiple values and meanings, ranging from scientific tool to outlook on life, reshaping national and national rejuvenation. During this process, the outlook on life backed by Chinese traditional culture and the views of science taking the scientism as the core values launched a debate, which brings the modern history of China a far-reaching influence. We must correctly understand and objectively evaluate the trend of scientism from the historical and contemporary perspective, view the relation between the development of modern science and Chinese traditional culture dialectically, carry forward the emotion of "family-country" and the precious spirit of exploring the world of the modern intellectuals.
