陈独秀、胡适、蔡元培在新文化运动期间 ,都崇信科学 ,相信科学万能 ,注重吸收和宣传西方科学 ,主张欧化 ,以促进中国文化的科学化。但他们对科学内涵、科学范围及科学在未来文化发展中的地位和功能的阐释却各不相同 ,从而为中国科学思想和科学事业的发展提供了宝贵经验的同时也显现出一定的理论缺陷。 During the New Culture Movement, Chen Duxiu, Hu Shi and Cai Yuanpei believed in science and believed in scientific omnipotence. They emphasized on absorbing and propagating Western science and advocated Europeanization so as to promote the scientification of Chinese culture. However, their interpretations of the connotation of science, the scope of science and the status and function of science in the future cultural development are all different, thus providing valuable experience for the development of Chinese scientific thought and science as well as showing some theoretical flaws.
