思想出于时代——《论科学与艺术的复兴是否有助于使风俗日趋纯朴》引起的反思

Thought out of the Time: Reflections on Si le Rétablissement des Sciences et des Arts A Contribué á épurer les M?urs

《论科学与艺术的复兴是否有助于使风俗日趋淳朴》是卢梭于18世纪所写的一篇文章,是基于第戎学院的有奖征文"科学和艺术的复兴是不是有助于人类风俗的纯洁化"而作。该文章认为科学技术的进步对人类没有好处,还有一些结论放于当下的时代背景会感觉很荒谬可笑,但也有一些问题很有价值,能够促使我们开始反思,近代科学与艺术的进步到底怎样才能发挥其正确的社会效用,以促进人类的精神文明有序发展。

Si le Rétablissement des Sciences et des Arts A Contribuéáépurer les M?urs is an article written by Rousseau in the 18 th century,based on the award-winning essay of Dijon Academy"Does the renaissance of science and art contribute to human customs purity".This article believes that the advancement of science and technology is not good for humans.Some conclusions in the article will feel ridiculous and ridiculous,but there are also some questions that are valuable and can prompt us to reflect on the progress of modern science and art.How can we exert its correct social utility to promote the orderly development of human’s civilization.
