“儒学对中国古代科技作用的研究”断想

On Research of the Confucianism’s Effect on Chinese Old Science and Technology

儒学对中国古代科技的作用是一个具有重大理论意义和应用价值的研究课题。近代以来，学术界和思想界对该问题大都持“消极作用论”；改革开放以后，论及此问题时的一般模式是：既谈消极作用，也谈积极作用。不过，不论持哪种观点，相当多的人都表现出了先入为主或浅尝辄止的弊病，甚至可以认为，该问题根本就没有获得真正解决。为此，科技哲学界和其他各界应重视这一课题的研究。不仅从宏观角度研究每一历史时期儒学对中国古代科技的作用，而且，注意为儒学的作用准确定位，原原本本地理解儒学，以及加强实证性的微观研究。

 The Confucianism is a research task which has great theoretical significance and applied value on the Chinese old science and technology． In modern times academic circles and ideological circles treat this problem in an attitude of negative action． Since reform and opening universal model of this problem is both negative action and positive action． However many people still think that this problem has not been solved in reality． So we should not only research the function of the Confucianism on the Chinese old science and technology in every period of history from a macrocosmic angle but also pay attention to the Confucianism’s accurate orientation and enhance its micro research．
