关于中国古代科学与技术若干问题的哲学反思

首先,"李约瑟难题"中从未提及中国古代科技自某时期就衰落下去,而是说与西方国家相比没有15世纪之前的发展势头;其次,不论在何种意义下,"李约瑟难题"都是成立的。它有两部分组成,彼此呈并列关系,没有逻辑上的必然关系,因此,解答"李约瑟难题"非同一般命题。从另一视角看,近代科学技术未能在中国产生其根源在中国历史发展的关键时期,生产力比较低下的具有游牧特点的少数民族占据中原并统治全国;其次是农民起义造成的改朝换代。在"后李约瑟时代"国人应追寻中国科学技术发展的条件和规律,去超越"李约瑟时代"。

Philosophical Reflection on Several Questions Concerning Ancient Chinese Science and Technology

First of all,"Needham Problem" has not mentioned the decline of ancient Chinese science and technology since a certain period,but said no momentum compared with the Western countries before the 15th century;Second,"Needham Problem",will be established anyway.It is composed of two parts,side-by-side with each other,without necessarily logical links.Therefore,solving "Needham Problem" differs from a general proposition.From another perspective,modern science and technology have not emerged in China,and the reason lies in the nomad minority with low productivity occupied China at a crucial period of the history.Another reason is the peasant uprising In"post Joseph Neadham Times",people should seek the conditions and laws for the development of science and technology to transcend "Needham Times".
