从近代物理创立过程看“李约瑟难题”——文科物理一则案例教学

Seeing the Joseph Needham Problemin the Creation Process of Modern Physics——A Case Teaching Arts Physics

挑选出哥白尼、开普勒、伽利略、笛卡尔、牛顿等数个具有代表性的事例,来探寻＂李约瑟难题＂,即我国近代科学落后于西方背后的深层原因.以案例教学的形式加深学生对物理初创过程中历史知识的理解,从而重视理性主义,提高科学素养.这有利于后续文科物理课程的开展.

In order to explore the ＂Needham Question＂ during physics teaching in the liberal arts, arranged an assignment to students. From the creation process of modern physics, modern science is formed from natural sciences of ancient Greece thought and innovation achievements, We choose a few representative examples just like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton, and so on. According these examples to seek the ＂Needham Question＂ and the reason behind the backward of modern science in China. Through these cases teaching to enhance students understand of the physical start-up process of historical knowledge; and make them pay attention to rationalism and scientific literacy, which it is conductive to carry out following arts physical teaching course.
