摘要
文章把地质思维历史分为四个演变阶段,即整体朦胧思维阶段、点式单向思维阶段、二维面式思维阶段和全方位系统思维阶段。文章分析了各个阶段的基本特点,尤其是着重分析了各个阶段的认识论特征。结合地质思维历史的回顾,文章提出了地质科学的特性问题。重点阐明了这样一个观点:地质科学是一门综合科学。地质科学的大发展依赖于综合条件的形成。因此,尽管地质科学诞生得较早,但它的大发展是在现代,即地质科学的综合条件成熟的年代。由此特性,文章分析和回答了几个相关的问题,如地质科学发展的规律性问题、地质科学方法的基本特性问题等。文章的结论是,当代地质科学和地质思维是系统的、开放的、整体的和综合的。地质科学和地质思维一定会沿着这个方向发展下去。
This article divides the history of geological thinking into four developing periods, i.e. the whole period of misty thinking, the period of point-type-and-single-direction thinking, the period of two-direction-and-sur-dace type thinking,and the period of whole-direction-and-systematic thinkfing. The article analyses the basic features in each period, especially the characteristics of the theory of knowledge in each period. Looking back at the history of geological thinking, the article puts forward the subject of the character of geological science and mainly clarifies such a view; geological science is a synthetical science, the high development of geological science depends on the formation of the synthetical conditions. Therefore, although geology came into being very early, it can achieve high development only in modern times, i e. the times in which the synthe tical conditions of geological science are muture. In accordance with the features, the article analyses and answers several relating questions, such as the law of the development of geological science, the basic chaacter of geological methods, etc The conclusion of the article is that mordern geology and geological thinking are systematic, open, overall and synthetical. Geology and geological thinking will definitely develop forward in this direction.
