University students should cultivate an example of the humanistic spirit

From chaos to civilization, from weak to robust, looking back on the development process of mankind, the scientific spirit and the humanistic spirit are blended with each other, and jointly illuminate the way forward for mankind. In this issue of "Hundred Lectures", Professor Yuan Zhengguang of the China Science and Technology Lecture Group elaborated on the formation and development of the scientific concept with reason as the core and the humanistic concept with people as the center, and its role in human society. Science gives people strength and is the driving force for the development of human society.

Three hundred years ago, what human beings did generally followed was to start from experience, that is, to blindly produce based on experience, and then in the long practical experience of production, to refine technology, and then in the process of improving technology, to produce science, but in modern times, after the birth of modern science, there has been a huge change, change, what to do first engaged in scientific research, in the laboratory, to discover the truth and principle of things, to reveal the law, and then use this principle to engage in this invention technology, and then transformed into real productive forces, and from then on human beings entered a rational society. The scientific spirit is the scientific concept and the courage to adhere to this concept. It reveals the temperament, character and psychology of a nation or a person, and the scientific spirit includes five aspects:

The spirit of exploration, the spirit of empirical, the spirit of principle, the spirit of innovation, and the spirit of independence.

Scientific concept is an important part of modern concepts, but not everything, science makes people understand that we can make things that cannot be done in the past, but what can be done may also benefit human beings, so there must be humanistic thoughts, and humanistic ideas are to respect people, care for people, love people, is the direction of human development. The emergence of the humanistic spirit has promoted the generation of scientific thought, and the development of science has further promoted the development of the humanistic spirit. Scientific thought is like a bright lamp, illuminating the whole human society, science gives people strength, and humanistic thought is like a star to guide the direction of human progress, in the human spiritual world, we should advocate the combination of science and humanities, the combination of science and art and humanities, so that the spiritual world of human beings is more complete, both rational and emotional.

To enable mankind to achieve better development.

Zhu Qingshi (President of the University of Science and Technology of China and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences): The topic of today's debate is very good. In the past 200 years, the natural sciences have developed rapidly since the Industrial Revolution, and many masters of science and engineering have appeared at this time.

People all over the world have noticed that Polytechnic is gone, and not enough attention is paid to the humanistic spirit. In fact, in the early days of human existence, between 400 and 500 B.C., human culture had a peak period. At that time, Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi were produced in China, Shakyamuni was produced in India, and Plato was produced in Greece.

At that time, the development of the humanities reached a peak, and in the past two or three hundred years, everyone shifted their attention to the development of natural sciences, which is also a law of scientific development, that is, wave progress. However, our education should develop the all-round qualities of our students. In the past few decades, people have not paid attention to the cultivation of the humanistic spirit, but paid more attention to the cultivation of natural sciences, science and technology, and this matter is causing the whole society to think, so this debate topic is very good.

There are several issues I would like to raise in today's debate: The first is that neither side has properly stated what is the spirit of science and what is the spirit of humanity. This should be mentioned, what exactly is the spirit of science?

We all know that human beings have been tirelessly exploring the laws of the objective world for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, and the objective world includes the external natural world and ourselves as human beings, and use this law to serve mankind. This is the greatest scientific spirit. What is the Humanistic Spirit?

The humanistic spirit is to shape the human soul, it is necessary to cultivate good people, have correct values and outlook on life, and at the same time correct the relationship between people and society. One guides the other, or should the two be complementary and compatible? I think it's a pity that people didn't make it very clear.

My personal view is that from the perspective of the history of human civilization for tens of thousands of years, the humanities and natural sciences are complementary, and it is impossible for one to replace the other. Therefore, many people in the academic community believe that the 21st century should be an era in which natural sciences, science and technology, humanities, and humanistic spirit develop simultaneously. Higher education in the 20th century should have developed in tandem, which is a pity that today's students did not point it out.

Therefore, we should not confuse the importance of studying the humanities and natural sciences with the courses that higher education and higher education should focus on. Every school should have both, because every talent is well-rounded, and neither can be neglected. However, in terms of time allocation, different types of schools have different responsibilities and division of labor, so they should focus on teaching more subjects in one area.

I hope that after today's debate, I hope that all of you will seriously think about these issues and think about them very clearly. It is hoped that through today's debate, our students will have all-round high-quality talents, and if our country has such all-round high-quality talents, we in China will have great hope.

You must be very inspired by reading this, and you will definitely not regret it! I promise!

The spirit of hard work, the spirit of model workers, the spirit of the Long March.

First, establish a correct world outlook. A correct world outlook is the foundation of a correct outlook on life, and our correct understanding of the meaning of life needs to be based on a correct understanding of the objective laws governing the development of the world. In a sense, the outlook on life is subordinate to the worldview, and there is no correct outlook on life without the correct worldview!

To establish a correct world outlook is to establish a Marxist world outlook, and thus to establish a Marxist outlook on life, that is, to serve the people. However, to establish a Marxist world outlook, we need to study Marxist philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism, and learn to use the viewpoints and methods of dialectical materialism and historical materialism to analyze problems and resolve contradictions. They also need to learn about economics, politics, law, science and technology, history, literature, and so on.

As a college student, learning is mainly self-taught, and of course, the necessary indoctrination is also indispensable.

Second, pursue a noble purpose in life. The purpose of life determines the direction of our life and is the source of motivation for our life behavior.

Life should be optimistic, and we should treat life with an optimistic, loving life, and confident attitude. As a college student, in a specific stage of growth in life, in the face of many practical problems, we should maintain an optimistic attitude towards life, believe that life is beautiful, and not because of setbacks and difficulties, we should not be negative and pessimistic, afraid of difficulties and retreat, or even decadent and degenerate, self-abandonment, let alone suicide!

We should forge ahead in life and meet various challenges in life with a pioneering and enterprising attitude. As a college student, you should be more proactive, not greedy for comfort, satisfied with the status quo, conservative, and inactive; It is necessary to carry forward the spirit of unremitting self-improvement, daring to be the first, perseverance, and perseverance, and maintain the vigorous and high-spirited spirit of young people.
