《论持久战》是毛泽东同志高超运用科学思维方法进行社会科学研究的典范。在《论持久战》中,毛泽东运用逆向思维法、分析与综合相结合的方法以及科学预见方法等思维方法,对抗日战争的特点、性质、过程及其规律进行了全面考察,最终得出了“抗日战争是持久战,最后的胜利属于中国”这一著名的科学论断,对我国抗日战争取得最终胜利起到了重大的指导作用。毛泽东在《论持久战》中对这些科学思维方法的运用,对于指导我们进行社会科学研究工作同样具有重大的理论和现实意义。 “On Protracted War” is a model for Comrade Mao Zedong's superb use of scientific thinking in conducting social science research.
