论古代科学发现优先权的确立原则与判定标准——以勾股定理与毕达哥拉斯定理的发现为例

The Principles and Measure Criteria to the Priority of the Ancient Scientific Discovery

通过对勾股定理与毕达哥拉斯定理发现与证明方法比较,考证了中西方对勾股定理的发现均符合现代科学发现的定义,提出了中国与西方几乎同时独立发现勾股定理。根据时间敏感性差异原理,指出了古代科学发现优先权的确立原则和判定标准,中西方这种独立的发现开辟了中西方科学发展的不同模式。

Based on the comparison of the origin, expression, proof proved and application of Legs of a Triangle Theorem with the Pythagorean Theorem, this paper concludes China and west countries almost discover the I.egs of a Triangle Theorem at the same time and points out the principles and measure criteria to the priority of the ancient scientific discovery. And the two distinct discoveries open up to the two different paradigm of science development.
