The new humanistic thought of George Sarton, a historian of science,It provides valuable ideological wealth for the integration of science and humanities。The main content of the new humanistic thought is: science is the product of "human nature",Science and humanities are fundamentally integrated; the spirit of science is the core of scientific research,is the core of new humanism,Mechanical technology is just the "by -product" of scientific spirit and scientific activities; "scientific history education" can cultivate scientists tolerance、Humid character,It can effectively eliminate prejudice and enthusiasm of "scientificism"; science itself is not complete,True, good, and beautiful and beautiful in human life; only "comprehensive talent innovation",There will be no authored innovation of culture and science without the flow of convergence between various civilizations。but,The beautiful blueprint depicted by Suton is difficult to achieve in reality,And his understanding of the "basic status" and "unity" of science has some confusion,The vision of the popularity bet365 best casino games of "Education of Science" also has strong idealism。

First,Suton thinks,Science has always existed as the basis of human civilization,Science is "the center of our civilization",All other disciplines must be established around it,This view is with him to morals、Equal emphasis on art and religion has certain contradictions。Although,There is a solid concept of progress in the scientific cause,Compared to the "changes" of politics,Science is "progressive" and accumulated,But this does not show that science has been the foundation and core of human civilization from ancient times to the present。His view will be opposed by many people。Aristotle "Born is a political animal".,reveal the facts and basic existence of people in historical development,Ancient science and technology is mainly used as a background in the halo of politics,things as the background must not be the basis,Not equal to "core"。We know,Science ’s knowledge in the early days of its initial initiation is still hidden in" philosophy ",Basically the "Xuan Xiang" of the nobles after meals; technology has different origin and science,Dermia in the "craftsmanship tradition" inherent in the working people。If there is no stable social and political order, the effective "organization" of society,Science and technology will be like bet365 Play online games a pattern on the beach that can generally escape or even interrupt the fate。So,Sadon is not rigorous enough to raise scientific degradation of politics here。Another,If according to Saton's statement,Taking the scientific and scientific spirit as the foundation and core of human civilization,So the morality he also values ​​the same、What is the relationship between religion and art with science? If human civilization is really established around science,Moral、Religious、Arts and other culture should be parallel,And they are likely to live in the status of subordinates,This will be contrary to the original intention of Sadon。So,Seton's view of science as the "foundation and center" of science is difficult to justify it。

Next,Sudon's "unity" thought in the "four guidance ideas",Has a certain arbitrary theory and empirical color。Suton thinks,Scientific humanity foundation includes "the unity of nature、The unity of human nature and the unity of science "。His vividly brings nature、Science and humans metaphor as a different face with a triangular cone,At the top of the three -edge cone, they will converge naturally。Where,"Unity of Nature" is a prerequisite for the establishment of science。If a certain limited condition is added,The perspective of "unity" of human nature can still bet365 Play online games be accepted,So the view of natural "unity" is still suspicious。White Sea once pointed out,Prerequisites for the establishment of science,It is the ancient Greek "belief in belief in nature with order",What he said is just a "belt" (doxa) rather than "true",Belief is a subjective thing。If "science cannot be exhausted naturally" is a truth,So the "order" within a certain range of nature does not mean "unity",Therefore, Seton explains "scientific unity" and "unity of human nature" on the premise of "unity" of nature.。We know,Einstein has been committed to the "unified field theory" research that has been committed to his life in two -thirds of his life but has not succeeded。Given that any scientific theory is "error" or "proveable pseudo",We can’t take "the unity of nature" as a universal truth。Visible,Talking about "the unity of nature" has a certain tendency of arbitrary theory。Maybe,Only in the case of human existence naturally appears orderly,If no one,Adjustment of orderly or disorder、Uniform or non -uniform may be meaningless。So,Starting from "the unity of human nature" discussing "the unity of nature" may be more reasonable,instead of taking the opposite path。

Last,The vision of Suton's general implementation of scientific history education is full of idealism。Today's increasingly differentiated discipline,The history Bet365 lotto review of science has become an independent discipline,Have a relatively fixed research paradigm and problem framework,Researchers and learners in the Disciplines of Natural Sciences Disciplines are not easy to enter。So,Generally implementing scientific history education in all scientific research will encounter difficulties。Unless it is performed in the form of compulsory or legislation,Otherwise, this is a thing that is "hopeless"。Another real problem is,Science has developed from the initial "small science" to today's "big science" era,Scientific research division of labor is becoming more and more fine。Big science is essentially "Technology -Science",The reality of "research barriers" between different disciplines exists,Interlaced like a mountain,It is difficult to make a person's life in a subdivided field.。These practical factors have added difficulties for the implementation of "scientific history education"。

Furthermore,Each era in human society has its own bet365 best casino games essential characteristics,Both historical continuity and present a certain "break"。Just like what Aren pointed out,Contemporary society is "the victory of labor animals",Action、The relationship between work and labor has "inverted" compared with ancient times,So the pursuit of wealth supported by modern technology becomes the essential characteristics of the times。That is,Today we are actually in an era led by politics and technology。or,As Heidegger said,"Ge-Stell,ENFRAMING) In essence, it is essentially connected and ruled modern science and our era。"Collection" inner place means compulsory and "promoting",The country and individuals will be reduced to the "followers" and vassal of technology。So,In this era,We only through the study and education of "history of science",It may solve the problem of individual people,but it is difficult to cure the disadvantages of the entire era。The development of society and the times has its own logic,Not on one aspect of education can "cure all diseases"。

It is undeniable,Suton is a scientist with "worldism" and the spirit of peace,The general direction of his new humanistic ideal is right,Wish is beautiful,It is very inspiring to correct some wrong scientific views。but,Due to the limits of the position,His new humanism inevitably exists in some wrong places。His ideological theory has strong empiricalism and idealism,It is difficult to land in reality。
