摘要
科学是一种文化现象,体现了人类文明中的理性。现代科学包括自然科学、社会科学、人文科学。自然科学把研究对象看作"我们身外的东西"。社会科学考察人们"身处其中"的事物和发生在人们之间的现象。人文科学研究人类的文化现象,阐释人"内心的"感情、感受、感想、感知,关注人的生存状态,反思人的信念、价值和理想,探索人类感情空间、思维空间、想象力空间的深度和广度。这三类科学显示人类的理性在面对自然、社会、人文现象时,其探索的内容和方式都发生了极大变化。但这并不改变科学的本质。科学的基础是生物的人,也是社会的和文化的人。在这个意义上,人文科学比自然科学和社会科学更能揭示科学文化的本质。
Science is a kind of culture incarnating the reason of civilization. Modern science includes natural science, social science and human science. Natural science studies the things that are outside human beings. Social science explains the phenomena emerging between human beings. Human science describes the inner feelings, senses, impressions and perceptions of human beings, rethinks their beliefs, values and ideas. In fact, it probes the depth and breadth in spaces of human feeling, thinking and imagination. These three kinds of science show the changing of contents and forms of scientific reason facing up to the nature, society and culture, but they still are science. The base of science is biological human being, and also social and cultural human being. But in the proper sense, the human science is better than social science and natural science in bringing light to the essence of scientific culture.
