The Spirit Of Scientific Research

We are engaged in building the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the development of socialism is based on the developing of social productive forces. Only on the basis of highly developed productive forces can eliminate private ownership, eliminate polarization, achieve common prosperity and realize the free and comprehensive development.In the context of globalization, the development of China's productive forces, not only depends on the reform and open, reform the relationships of production which do not get used to the development of productive forces , building a socialist democratic politics, to strengthen contacts with the world, but also depends on the development of modern science and technology. "Science and technology are primary productive forces" said by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, fully affirmed the tremendous significance of the development of modern science and technology which promote the development of productive forces."Science" is often used in three senses. The first refers to a special spiritual activity which is the rational understanding of the world activities; The second is a special kind of spiritual products, means our rational knowledge of the objective world ; the third is an evaluation of the rational knowledge . This paper discusses the scientific, mainly refers to the understanding of the world's rational activity.Science is an activity to rational understanding of the world, the fundamental motive of its development comes from practice, also, Scientists should have scientific spirit. Spirit of science is the spiritual power to promote the scientific development. Spirit of science means the spiritual quality what scientific needs in scientific activities . Spirit of science including: the spirit of Seeking truth, innovation, critical spirit, tolerance and sacrificeThe spirit of seeking the truth means the faith, courage and character for the truth, also called the spirit of seeking truth from facts. Truth-seeking spirit of faith, including the three science: first, believe the exist of the object of scientific research does not depend on researchers; second, believe that the object can be a correct understanding; third, believe practice is the only criterion to Inspection of truth.. So, in order to culture the Truth-seeking spirit, we need correct world outlook. Marxist philosophy is a scientific world outlook, it recognize that the essense of the world is the material, which exists independent of the consciousness. Practice is the source to understanding the real life, it is also an objective criterion for testing truth. Here, we must oppose idealism, intuitive materialism, agnosticism, and metaphysical Truth..Scientific innovation is beyond the original scientific understanding, creating new spirit of scientific theory, is to promote the belief of truth forward, courage and character.Some issues must be resolved to cultivate the spirit of innovation. First, we must recognize that the object of knowledge is not natural existence, but our practice. The object of knowledge is generated and developing from history. Use the words of Marx,"Object, reality, emotional ... ... as human sensuous activity, as a practice to understand","To understand from the main area". The second is to realize that thinking and being is relative, specific, historical, the development of truth is a historical process that relative truth develop to absolute truth again and again. Third, we should oppose the "Eternal Truth" against dogmatism. Forth, understand the relationship between theoretical innovation and truth. Innovation is the essence of truth, truth demands innovation, and innovation is to seek truth. Therefore, to oppose nihilism which denies the scientific truth..The critical spirit of science is such a belief, courage, and character in scientific researchers: existing thing has its positive aspects, but also must contain the negative aspects,everything will inevitably experience changes and the fate of inevitable doom. Thus, scientific researchers do not worship anything, they understand world from things changing and inevitable doom. Generalized critical spirit of science, including the negative understanding of real things and existing theories. Narrowly speaking, the critical spirit of science is the understanding of existing theories of negativity. the theory of criticism of ourselves. Whether have self-critical spirit when treat his theory or not is an important criteria to measure critical spirit.The dialectical outlook is needed to cultivate critical spirit. On the other hand, we should against the metaphysical world view.The critical spirit of science is such a belief and character in scientific researchers: gs and protect the knowledge of truth, not the protection of old things and falsehood.Scientific spirit of sacrifice is the spirit of scientific researchers sacrifice personal, Immediate benefits to seek truth. Scientific researchers to pursue truth, never afraid of persecution, isolation and poverty.At present, Chinese scientific research, the main aspect is carried forward the spirit of science, the scientific spirit is driving the rapid development of science in China; the other hand, there are scientific sprite decline. The scientific spirit of recession, will hinder the healthy development of science. For the healthy development of Chinese science, we must avoid the decline of scientific spirit, vigorously promote the scientific spirit.
