ABSTRACT

This paper intends to become an entry point for analysis and research on Hu Shih’s way of thinking about science and limitations regarding his scientific metaphysics. Hu’s disbelief in ghosts and gods and his advocacy for the abolition of feudal superstition became a theoretical foundation for his atheism, which undergirded both his scientific way of thought and his belief system. This paper highlights Hu’s ideas regarding “science” and “worldview” to discover the meaning behind his perspective on science and specify limitations in this way of thought.
