地质学的发展轨迹和思维方式的转换过程

地质学的发展分为三个阶段，即启蒙阶段、分析阶段和综合阶段，三个阶段的地质学各具特色，总体显示地质学从分析到综合的发展轨迹。地质学的三个发展阶段，形成了人们不同的思维方式，思维方式的转换逐步与地球的客观实际相一致。当前，地质学正处于综合阶段，科学的思维方式促成了新学说和理论的产生和发展，但是，过去阶段的思维方式具有遗传性质，它对新的学说和理论具有阻碍作用。

Change of the Development Locus and the Thinking Mode of Geology

The development of geology may be divided into three stages. That is initialstage, analytical stage and synthetical stage. Geology has different characteristics indifferent stages, but it has overall shown a developmental locus from analysis tosynthesis. Three developmental stages of geology lead to form a different mode of thinkingof humanbeing. The changes of the mode of thinking have gradually shown no differencewith the objective reality of the earth. At present, geology is in a certain condition ofsynthetical stage. The mode of scientific thinking helps to bring about a production anddevelopment of the new theory. However,the mode of thinking in the past has a hereditaryfeature and hinders the development of the new theory.
