科学研究作为人类认识自然界、揭示自然界奥秘的活动,主要目的是为了求知,为了驱除愚昧或满足人们的好奇心,并不是为了实用目的。因此,为了求知而不为实用目的是推动科学进步的主要动力。事实上,科学家在进行科学探索时根本不考虑科学成果的实用价值,他们之所以孜孜不倦地探寻自然现象背后的原因并合理地加以解释,是他们的价值观使然。科学成果能够变为技术,并推动社会生产力或经济的发展,仅仅是科学的“副产品”。
Scientific research, as the activity of human understanding of nature and revealing the mysteries of nature, is mainly for the sake of seeking knowledge. It is not for practical purposes to get rid of ignorance or to satisfy people’s curiosity. Therefore, in order to know rather than for practical purposes is the main driving force to promote scientific progress. In fact, scientists do not consider the practical value of scientific achievements in scientific exploration at all. Their reasoning for them is that they tirelessly explore the reasons behind natural phenomena and reasonably explain them. Scientific achievements can be turned into technologies and promoted social productivity or economic development, just scientific “by-products”.
