中国自然科学批判运动研究的现状和困境

中国自然科学批判运动始于50年代初期，前后持续了近30年。学术界对这场运动的研究已近50年。以“文革”结束后的1976年为分水岭，这50年的研究可分为前后两个阶段。前一阶段的研究在方法上局限于用经典著作和革命领袖的有关语录来诠释和论证学术与政治、自然科学与哲学以及自然科学本身是否有阶级性等问题，基本倾向是政治大于学术。后一阶段在理论上、方法上和研究内容上逐渐拓宽了视野，开始了真正意义上的学术研究。但是，我国自然科学批判运动的研究仍然面临着困境。许多因素都阻碍了该领域的深入研究。

Studies of Natural Science Critique Movement in China:Status Quo and Difficulties

The Natural Science Critique Movement in China (NSCMC), which lasted almost 30 years, is the largest anti-science movement in the history of science in 20th century. The studies on it also lasted for about 50 years, which can be roughly divided into two periods: the first from 1950s to 1976 and the second, from 1976 to the present. During the first period, influenced by both the politics and the "left ideology", the research approach is confined to the Marxist-Leninist theory. Sometimes the mottoes and quotations of the leaders are even employed to interpret the relationship between academics and politics, natural science and philosophy as well as such basic problems as whether natural science itself has something to do with the class. In general, this period is marked by the tendency to interpret things more from a political standpoint than from an academic viewpoint. In the second period, which started from 1976 when the Cultural Revolution formally ended, the academic circles became more open-minded, which resulted in many valuable achievements with breakthroughs not only in theory and contents but in methodology as well. Despite these achievements, the studies on NSCMC now is still confronted with many difficulties: lack of concrete materials, lack of depth in theory, lack of international academic training, narrow in viewpoints, old in approaches, to name only a few. All these problems greatly impede the progress of and in-depth studies into this field.
