英文摘要: As soon as the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was founded by the new government of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the principles of “linking theory with practice” and “conducting research to serve the people” set the framework for its scientific studies. How to balance their obligations to facilitate national economic construction with their desires to advance disciplinary scientific developments posed a knotty problem that frustrated those who organized and engaged in scientific research across the country, and in the CAS in particular. Against this background, the slogan “let tasks lead disciplines” was proposed as an effective solution. However, how exactly to put this into practice became a pressing issue, as CAS scientists and scholars debated the relationship between tasks and advances within scientific disciplines. This paper examines these debates as they were carried out in the case of the comprehensive surveys of natural resources organized by the CAS, focusing especially on different understandings of the relationship between “tasks” and “disciplines” within the CAS in the early 1960s, and examining the impact and legacy of “letting tasks lead disciplinary developments,” with possible lessons for the formulation of scientific plans today.
