摘　　要：格物致知是中国传统文化中一个重要的认知理论。它与中国古代科学技术的发展有着密切的联系。在其起源及发展早期,基本是以道德化诠释为主。到宋代时,心学派基本沿袭了早期道德化的诠释方向,但理学派则强调其中的理性精神,对宋代科学的兴盛影响重大。在明清之际,受时代变化的影响,实证化的取向更加显著,使格物致知论发生了重大的理论转型,为近代中国与西方科学技术的对接铺平了道路。而到近代之后,格致论几乎完全成为西方科学技术的代称。对格物致知论历史源流的梳理,从中还可以发现其对于现代科学发展的借鉴意义。To investigate things to obtain knowledge is one of the important cognitive theories in traditional Chinese culture andis closely related to the development of ancient Chinese science and technology. In the early stage of its origin and development, itfocused on the moralized annotation. In the Song dynasty, the school of the philosophy of the Mind-Doctrine inherited the moralizedannotation while the school of the philosophy of logos emphasized the importance of rational spirit, which had a huge impact on thedevelopment of ancient Chinese science and technology. During the transition from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty, theideological trend of positivism sprang up, which led to great changes of investigating things to obtain knowledge and paved the wayfor modern China to accept Western science and technology. What’s more, in modern times, investigating things to obtain knowledgealmost became a substitute in the Chinese language for Western science and technology. By combing the historical origins of thiscognitive theory, we can find its significance to the development of modern science.
