摘要
科学的近代起源问题引起了众多学者的探讨,却始终没有形成一致的意见。不同的观点都有一定的道理,而且分歧的形成在于分析视角的不同,本文试图从科学方法切入,分析自然的数学化的历程及其作用,并揭示科学实验在这一过程中的重要角色,尤其谈到了伽利略的思想实验在科学史上的地位。理论优位的科学观容易使人忽视科学实验的作用,但是,现实情况恰恰是科学实验在科学发现的过程中起着不可替代的作用。所以,我们应该重视对科学实验的研究,更好地推动科学的发展。
The issue of the origin of modern science caused widely attention and discussion among many scholars, but it is still difficult to reach an achievement. Different views have certain elements of truth, and the formation of differences mainly come from different perspectives. This paper attempts to cut in from the scientific method, analyzes the process of the mathematization and reveals the important role of scientific experiment, especially discussing Galileo＇s thought experiment in the history of science. The theories-dominated scientific viewpoints always ignore the importance of scientific experiments, however, the truth is that scientific experiments plays an irreplaceable role in the process of scientific discovery. We should pay more attention to the scientific experiment research to promote the development of science.
