五四科学思潮述评

Commentary on Scientific Ideological Trend During the May 4th Movement

五四时期 ,宣传科学形成一股显要的社会思潮。这既是爱国主义的进步思潮 ,又是反封建、倡民主的启蒙思潮。它不但为我国科技事业的建立与发展打下了重要基础 ,而且推动了中国社会的政治、经济、教育、文化、学术等广泛领域走向现代化。与此同时 ,它又是一种有着严重局限的片面性思潮。它片面强调科学救国 ,但在旧中国 ,科学救不了国 ;它具有浓厚的科学主义色彩 ;另外还有影响范围有限 。

During the May 4th Movement,disseminating science became a conspicuous social ideological trend.It was not only an advanced ideological trend of patriotism,but also an enlightening trend of anti-feudalism and advocating democracy;it not only laid important foundations for establishing and developing scientific causes in our country,but also boosted the modernization in wide fields of Chinese society,such as politics,economy,education,culture,academy,etc.However it was also a one-sided ideological trend with severe limitations.It unilaterally emphasized saving the nation by science could not save the nation;it was deeply colorized by scientism;its influences was limited for it had defects or insufficiencies such as failing to fully advocating scientific research,etc.
