论真理标准的成本性——真理标准的经济学思考

以成败论英雄、重结果轻过程、重收获轻代价、成本意识弱，是国人“标准”文化之特点。现有的真理标准观，是导致行政成本高、执政成本高的认识根源；建设“生态文明”之国，必须创新现有真理标准观。现实的教训和成本问题的普遍性，决定理应把成本问题纳入真理标准研究范围。真理标准成本性原理，要求我们学会风险思维、从未来思考现在和科学决策。

Reflections on Criterion of Truth from Perspective of Economics

Chinese people show such characteristics in ＂criterion＂ culture as deeming people merely on the basis of success or failure, paying more attention to results than to processes, more to benefits than to costs, and having weak cost awareness. The present ideas of the criterion of truth are cognitive causes giving rise to high administration and performance costs. It is necessary to innovate the existing truth criterion in order to construct a country with ＂conservationist culture＂. On the basis of our past experiences and the universality of the cost issues, the cost issues should be put into the sphere of our studies of the truth criterion. According the cost principles of the truth criterion, we should learn to think about things from risks, consider the present situations from future prospects, and make judgments in a scientific way.
