本世纪30年代末,英国学者贝尔纳曾对科学的社会功能作过详尽的、淋漓尽致的描述.较之他那个时代,当今科学的发展使其社会功能与功利价值都极大地增长了.新科学技术革命正以汹涌的态势向人类生活的各个领域扩展,高度重视和发展科学技术已成为世界各国谋求发展的战略重点.各国在越来越大的规模上给科学提供经费,组织科学活动.因为“国际间的竞争,说到底是综合国力的竞争,关键是科学技术的竞争,在科学上落后,就会被动挨打.”(江泽民语)这一点已取得普遍的认同.
In the late 1930s, Bernard, a British scholar, gave an exhaustive and vivid description of the social functions of science, which greatly increased the social function and utilitarian value of modern science as compared with his time. The technological revolution is expanding in all areas of human life in a turbulent situation and attaching great importance to and developing science and technology has become a strategic priority for all countries in the world in their pursuit of development. Countries are funding science on an ever-increasing scale and organizing scientific activities. “International competition, in the final analysis, is the competition of comprehensive national strength. The key is competition in science and technology. If we are backward in science, we will be beaten by force.” (Jiang Zemin's dialect) This point has gained general acceptance.
