Definition and Category of Science in the New Culture MovementCentered on La Jeunesse

La Jeunesse magazine is the backbone of science dissemination in the New Culture Movement. In the process of dissemination, many authors of La Jeunesse have made different definitions of science and divided science into broad and narrow categories, which reflects their understanding that the scope of science should include both natural and social sciences. Scholars in the humanities tend to define science by profiling its nature, while those in the natural sciences are more rigorous in their definition by taking into account the research objects, methods and results of science. The promotion of science by La Jeunesse magazine not only reflects their cognition of the needs of the times, but also makes a great contribution to the spread of scientific ideas in China.
