摘　　要：近年来纳米安全性研究已引起国内外广泛关注,我国科学家在这一领域已做了大量重要工作.然而,从科学方法论角度来看,现有的研究主要还局限于还原论方法.实际上,纳米安全性问题不仅涉及不同学科,而且其研究对象涉及自然界、人与社会这样复杂的巨系统.因此,为了真正解决现实世界中的纳米安全性问题,需要在方法论上有所突破,在重视分析还原、寻找确切的因果联系的同时,也要关注整体性、复杂性和不确定性.开展跨学科、跨层次的综合研究,还需要政府、企业、公众与研究人员共同努力.Recently, research on nanotechnology safety has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Chinese scientists have contributed significantly to this field. However, from the perspective of scientific methodology, I believe that the most research in China has been limited to the method of reduction. In fact, nanosafety research involves multiple disciplines, and its study must model nature, man and society as a giant complex system. Therefore, to truly solve the nanosafety problems of the real-world, it is necessary to achieve a breakthrough in methodology. It is important to use reductive methods and analyses, and to search for the exact causal links. However, researchers should also be concerned with the integrity, complexity and uncertainty of their study. Often this can be best achieved by pursuing interdisciplinary and cross-level integrated research, and by working with the government, corporate enterprises and the public.
