摘　　要：早在20世纪初中国的"新文化运动"时期,梁漱溟的《东西文化及其哲学》一书,记述了当时早稻田大学金子马治及梁漱溟已提出的近代科学为什么未能在中国产生这一问题,即"李约瑟难题"。金子马治、梁漱溟、陈独秀、李大钊等人均从东西方文化比较的角度,对此做出解答。30年后李约瑟对这一问题的提出,重新引起了学界对这一问题的兴趣。这一问题还可以从中国几千年的专制制度,盲目的"天意"崇拜,儒教文化桎梏,民族性的差别,地域封闭又具有独创而完整的文化意识几方面,做出解答。Liang Shu-ming published his book Eastern and Western Culture and its Philosophy during the"New Culture Movement"in the early 20 th century.In this book,it records that Kaneko Umaji of Waseda University and Liang Shu-ming have made it clear why modern science did not rise in China.Kaneko Umaji,Liang Shu-ming,Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao have answered this problem from the comparative point of Eastern and Western cultures.Needham raised this issue 30 years later,it re-ignited the interest in the academic community and this question is called as"the Needham problem".We can also answer this question from the viewpoints of thousands of years of autocracy of China,the blind worship of"Heaven",Confucian cultural shackles,ethnic difference,geographical closure of the original and complete cultural awareness.
