李铁映同志日前针对我国社会科学研究发表讲话说，未来综合国力的竞争，集中体现为科学技术的竞争──既包括自然科学也包括社会科学，两者缺一不可。他引用乌克兰国家科学院院长巴顿的话说：“２１世纪最重要的是杜会科学，对人类自身发展问题的研究，才带有最根本性”。历史 Comrade Li Tieying said a few days ago in his speech on China’s social science research that the future competition in comprehensive national strength will be embodied in the competition in science and technology - both natural science and social science, both of which are indispensable. He quoted Barton, president of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences as saying: “The most important thing in the 21st century is the study of the social sciences that takes the most fundamental issue of human development.” history
