对文化历史转型的担忧与抗争——解读梁启超的科学观

Concerns and Struggle of the Cultural Historical Transformation——Unscrambling Qichao Liang's Scientific Views

科学技术将给人类带来什么?梁启超既不是反对科学与技术的保守主义者,也不是技术乌托邦的乐观主义者。他敏锐地意识到日益分离的科学文化与人文文化造成人格缺陷,科学文化将越来越在人类社会中占主导地位。面对文化历史转型带来的负面影响,他反对把科学文化推广到一切领域,并力图用中国传统的人文文化来弥补西方科学文化的遗缺,达到科学精神与人文精神的统一。

What will the scientific technology bring to the human beings? Qichao Liang is not a conservatist to oppose science and technology, and not an optimist of the technology utopianism either. He incisively realized that the fact that the scientific culture was increasingly separated with humanistic culture has resulted in the personality disfigurement and that scientific culture would become more and more dominant in the human society. In the face of the negative influences resulting from the cultural historical transformation, he argued against promoting the scientific culture to all the walks of the society, and attempted to use the Chinese traditional humanistic culture to make up the vacancy of the western scientific culture, thus to reach the unification of the scientific culture and humanistic spirits.
