What do you think is the significance of academic research?

1. The research object of academic research itself is meaningful actions and events.

Compared with the measurable, experimental and analyzable materialized research object in the natural science field, the research object of philosophy and social science is the living "human" activities. And "man" is not only a physical structure in the sense of physical chemistry, but also a subject of thought and behavior with feelings and motives such as likes and dislikes, hopes, purposes and desires, and its actions or events have "value presupposition".

2. Academic research is of great significance to researchers themselves.

Scientific researchers can calmly study the structure of a cell in the laboratory. However, researchers in philosophy and social sciences are more or less concerned about social phenomena, and their research motives, the choice of research objects and perspectives, and the formulation of research objectives are all subjective. The "choice" of academic research objects is itself a very complicated action.

Extended data:

Academic research also needs to respect norms.

Science is meaningful, which is not a strange proposition for today's mankind. The significance of science is extensive and profound, but most of the previous studies on this issue paid attention to the metaphysical significance of science, but lacked a profound theoretical explanation of its metaphysical significance. In the final analysis, the significance of science is its significance to people, especially to people's development.

Therefore, discussing the significance of science to human development is not only a fundamental theoretical problem, but also a major practical problem directly faced, which should be highly valued.

Science is a cultural world developed to meet human needs and abilities, and it is the greatest tool for human beings to understand and transform the world. Science has profoundly changed our living world with its magical power. It has brought us unprecedented rich and developed social wealth and great social civilization and progress.
