20世纪经常被人们称之为是科学的世纪,尽管这样的定义无论如何也不能全面地表明我们时代的社会本质,然而它仍然还不失其某些根据而成立。20世纪的一个显著的特点,乃是科学已渗透到社会生活的一切领域。科学技术革命在许多方面制约着现代社会生活的进程,而科学的社会职能却以这般庞大的力量显示出来,一历史上的任何时候,科学在社会进程中的地位和作用都没有如此显著。伴随着科技革命而来的是科学知识的范围和作用异常扩大,它神速地侵入到社会生活的各种各样的领域,它对一切物质文化和精神文化都产生令人难忘的影响。
The century of 20th century, often referred to as the century of science, does not in any way fully reveal the social nature of our time, yet it is still founded on some basis. One of the salient features of the 20th century is that science has infiltrated all areas of social life. In many ways, the revolution in science and technology has constrained the progress of modern social life. However, the social functions of science are displayed with such enormous forces that at any time in history no science has such a prominent position or role in the social process. What has come along with the revolution in science and technology has been the extraordinary expansion of the scope and role of scientific knowledge. It has rapidly penetrated into various fields of social life and has an unforgettable impact on all material and spiritual cultures.
