牛顿的绝对时空观何以可能

Why Newton's View on Absolute Space and Time Can Come into Being?

有关牛顿时空观的研究与争论虽不是学界的新鲜话题,但"牛顿时空观何以可能"的问题却一直未曾得以认真探析过。我们这里注重一种"回到事情本身"的理路,从牛顿的具体文本出发,结合其思想生态和思考问题的可能理路乃至心理学特征等,在梳理出绝对时空观产生的思想渊源和内容主旨的基础上,从历史承继关系、逻辑推论程序、科学解释功能、哲学辩护基础和宗教心理情结等多维视域下指认出了其生成的必然性与合理性,同时也澄清了以往学界的一些误解与误读之处。

Though the study and argument about Newton＇ s view on absolute space and time is not a fresh topic, why Newton＇ s view on absolute space and time can come into being has not been analyzed seriously. In this paper we could pay attention to a kind of way of coming back to the thing itself, read carefully Newton＇ s texts, study his thought and likely ways of thinking about questions and his psychology characteristics and card his thought source and content leitmotiv. The inevitability and rationality of Newton＇ s view are expounded from the historical inheritance relation, logic deduction procedure, science explanation function, philosophy advocacy base and religious psychological complex. At the same time, misunderstandings about it in the academia are also clarified.
