摘　　要：中国佛教是在近代科学主义流行的历史时期步入复兴之路的。近代中国佛教界关于佛教与科学的关系有以下一些基本看法:佛教重视科学;佛法不违背科学;佛法可以与科学互补;佛法高于科学;佛教非宗教非哲学。这些观点反映了佛教与西方一神教的差异,但基于时代的原因,当时的佛教界尚不能认清科学现象和科学精神的区别。中国佛教接受了科学主义的洗礼未必是坏事,但现代人间佛教还必须从科学主义的阴影中走出来,才有可能找到更为广阔的发展空间。Chinese Buddhism assumed its new vitality during the historical period when modern scientism became popular. The basic opinions about the relationship between Buddhism and science held in modern Chinese Buddhism are as follows. Buddhism attaches importance to science. Buddhism doesn't run counter to science. Buddhism can be complementary to science. Buddhism is superior to science. Buddhism is not religion or philosophy. These viewpoints reflect the difference between Chinese Buddhism and Western Trinity. However, the then Buddhism could not distinguish between scientific phenomenon and scientific spirit due to the influence of the times. It's not necessariby a bad thing for Chinese Buddhism to have gone through the test of science, still modern Buddhism should break away from scientism. Only in this way, can it develop more rapidly and freely.
