摘要
传统文化与知识的最一般特征就是"博物";博物学展示了人类在整个大自然系统中的可持续生存智慧。在当今时代,博物学、"natural history"与自然科学三者是不同的概念,前两者相近但都不是自然科学的真子集。博物学研究的兴起与科学知识社会学及人类学视角在多个学术领域的流行有着某种重要的关联。博物学可以成为一种新的科学编史纲领,藉此可以重写科学通史或人类知识史。博物学知识在现代教育体系中已被严重忽视,而实际上它们应当被优先传播、传承。
Bowuxue or natural history embodies the most general characteristic of traditional cultural and indigenous knowledge,and the thoughts and practice of bowuxue or natural history display the wisdom of sustainable survival of human beings in the whole natural system.Today,the three concepts—bowuxue,natural history and natural science——are different,and neither of the first two is a true subset of the third.The rise of natural history studies has evident connection with the popularity of sociology of scientific knowledge and anthropological perspective in many different disciplines.A new historiographical program of science may be constructed on which the general history of science or history of human knowledge is expected to be well written.Knowledge of natural history has been seriously ignored by modern education system,but they do have priority to be communicated and inherited.
