Imagine The Scientific Method

There are a large number of vivid expressions of "science" in science fictions in the late Qing Dynasty.These expressions are not as rigorous and detailed as professional science books,but they are full of imagination due to the virtual space of the genre of novels,we can call them The scientific expression of "imagination".From "evolution" as the core of western thought,to "sound,light and electricity" as the representative of western technology,from "medicine" for healing people's heart,to "hypnosis" which is quite mysterious,through the science of late Qing Dynasty In the actual creation of novels,Chinese literati in the late Qing Dynasty began to directly participate in the imaginative expression and construction of such scientific discourses.Based on this,this article focuses on and grasps exactly how the late Qing science fiction writers participated in and implemented the imaginative expression and construction of the above-mentioned scientific discourse,and behind this imagination and construction,the late Qing Dynasty reflected The scientific concept of a generation of intellectuals(mainly the creators of scientific fiction).The thesis consists of three parts,and the contents of each part are described as follows:The first part,the introduction,firstly states the background and significance of this article's topic selection;secondly,it reviews the current research status of scientific fiction in the late Qing Dynasty,and proposes the innovative points of this article based on this;finally,points out the use and use of the basic concepts of this article The scope of the research.The second part,the main text,is divided into three chapters to expand the discussion.The first chapter "Science Fiction in the Late Qing Dynasty" is a general introduction,mainly to explain some basic conditions of the science fiction in the late Qing Dynasty,including "the origin of' Science Fiction'","Theoretical Discussion of 'Science Fiction'" and "'Science Fiction'" "The translation and creation of " The second chapter is based on the four types of scientific discourses: "evolution","sound-optical electrochemistry","medicine",and "hypnotism" as the key words,carefully combing and investigating the scientific novels of the late Qing Dynasty The corresponding scientific expression in it.Specifically,it can be divided into "the myth of the future-the literary display of the theory of evolution","the kingdom of machines-the technical interpretation of the " sound,light,and electricity "","brainwashing and heart-changing-the magical performance of " medicine "" and "The Art of Hypnosis-Misunderstood'Science'" four parts;the analysis and research of the previous chapter in Chapter 3 is the basic reference and basis to further explore the science revealed by the novelists in the late Qing Dynasty behind the expression of "science" Views mainly include two parts: "the reveal of'scientism'" and "the revival of the scientific view of 'ware'".The third part is the conclusion.Summarize the full text,and further point out that the expression and imagination of "science" in science fictions in the late Qing Dynasty is a vivid embodiment of the so-called "bourgeois modernity" proposed by Matei Kalinescu,but it has not risen to the level of "aesthetics".The height of "modernity" questioned and even criticized "science",which was an important regret in the creation of science fiction in the late Qing Dynasty.
