文明新曙光下的科技人文与大学之道--钱旭红院士访谈

Science,Technology and Humanities and the Way of University at the Dawn of a New Civilization:An Interview with Academician QIAN Xu-hong

面对新的世界文明变局,我们迫切需要改变思维。改变思维既要回归本源,又要更现代。量子思维既是最前沿的,又与老子的学说相通。如此中西之和、古今之和、科技人文之和,正昭示着人类文明新的曙光。科技与人文在现代社会的"纠缠"表现为科技重塑人文、人文引导科技。现代科技可以为人文学研究提供新的理论工具、研究材料和技术手段;应该发挥伦理学对于科技创新、人类生活的引领作用,建构中国人自己的知识体系。新时代的大学肩负着"育人""文明""发展"三大使命。立德树人,需要三种精神要素的统一,即以质疑为第一要素的科学精神、以关爱为第一要素的人文精神、以使命为第一要素的信仰精神。

In the new transformation of the world civilization,it is urgent for us to change our way of thinking.This requires to return to the origin while at the same time become more modern.The quantum thinking is not only most advanced but closely connected with the philosophy of Laozi as well.In this way,the harmony of the Chinese and the Western,the Past and the Present,and science,technology and humanities is demonstrating the dawn of a new civilization.Due to the“entanglement”of Science and technology with humanities,science and technology reshapes humanities while humanities guide science and technology.Modern science and technology can provide new theoretical instruments,new research materials and technological means for humanities.We ought to let ethics guide technological innovation and human life,and construct a particular Chinese knowledge system.Universities and colleges shoulder three missions,i.e.,“cultivation”,“civilization”and“development”.The premise of strengthening moral education and cultivating people is the unity of three kinds of spirit:scientific spirit with questioning,humanistic spirit with caring,and faith spirit with mission.
