在科学与神学之间——略论伽利略的科学思想与宗教信仰

Between Science and Theology——on Galileo's Viewpoint of Science and Religious Belief

伽利略具有科学家和宗教徒的双重身份。虽然他醉心于自然科学研究,但其精神深处却有神学信仰在支撑,特别是在天文学研究中他从对神学敬仰的角度去解释科学真实的发现,协调他的信仰与理性。他游离又交融于科学和神学之间,努力恪守一个灵魂已有归宿的科学家的职责。

Galileo had a dual identity of scientist and religious believers. Although he indulged in the natural science research, he was supported by the theological belief in the depth of his heart, especially in the study of astronomy, revering from the theological point of view, he explained the real scientific discovery to coordinate his faith and reason. He dissociated but mingled between science and theology, striving to abide by the duty of a scientist whose soul had had the end result.
