摘要
通过考证近代科学革命中伽利略、笛卡尔、牛顿三者的思想承继脉络,文章认为,众多涉及近代科学革命的历史描述存在某种夸大伽利略、弱化笛卡尔的思想倾向。这种倾向揭露了在科学史的描述中存在着"异化"现象,科学史的"异化"源自哲学、心智、政治、地域、媒介上的偏见,而这些偏见在深层又折射了科学历史甚至科学的社会建构性。
On the basis of the work of Alexandre Koyre,I argue--against the prevailing orthodoxy that many scientists and scientific historians hold one distorting attitude to the position of Galileo and Descartes, Which is to play down Descartes' s achievement and play up Galileo' s achievement. In fact,the above viewpoint has revealed one ubiquitous kind of phenomenon in scientific history: the dissimilation of scientific history. In my opinion, the dissimilation is triggered by some prejudices from philosophy, mind, region, intermedium and politics. Moreover, I argue that those prejudices give some reasonable proofs to social constructivity of science.
