How Is It Possible to Narrate the History of Scientific Thought"Great Scientific Revolution"?
The History of Scientific Thought by Professor Xiao Xianjing is a new book of the history of scientific thought with great historical material,re-search,comprehensiveness and innovation.It is a landmark achievement that the research of the history of scientific thought in China has its own unique research perspective,methods and viewpoints and has matured.It shows a new stage and a new paradigm of the study of the history of scientific thought in China from the original tradition of Engels'dialectics of nature to the tradition of using western philosophy of science to study the history of scientific thought.However,such research and narration seem to have some contradictions and problems that are difficult to overcome:as the core concept,"great scientific revolution"is too constructive and not clear enough;the relationship between this concept and the concept of"scientific revolution in lower case"may be reversed in logical order;the relationship of progress and change from the change of the view of nature to the innovation of methodology and then to the scientific revolution is not so simple as the author imagined,which need to be expanded,explained and elaborated.This narrative of the histo-ry of scientific thought of"great scientific revolution"may be the biggest highlight of this book,but it may also become a controversial point and outstand-ing problem that people pay close attention to.
