摘要
柯瓦雷始终认为科学革命的两大特征是有限宇宙解体为无限宇宙和空间的几何化,不过,《从封闭世界到无限宇宙》一书强调有限宇宙解体的核心地位,这个表述并不与柯瓦雷的一般说法相冲突。两者有各自的思想源头和发展进程,两者的关系是形而上学意义上的相互伴随和隐含,而不是逻辑推导的关系,一者暗示但不必然导向另一者;两者是不可相互替代的,科学革命的完成需要两者的共同作用。柯瓦雷将宇宙论变化作为主线是因为这一点更鲜明地表现了科学革命的观念突破。
Koyreinsisted that the two main characteristics of the Scientific Revolution were the destruction of the Cosmos and the geometrization of space.However,From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe emphasized the pivotal role of the destruction of the Cosmos.This statement does not conflict with Koyre’s general standpoints.Both of the two have their respective source of thought and development process,they are mutually concomitant and implicit in the metaphysical sense,rather than in a relationship of logical inference,that is,one implies the other and does not necessarily lead to the other;both are irreplaceable,and the completion of the Scientific Revolution requires their joint action.Koyretook cosmological changes as the main clue,because this one more vividly demonstrated the conceptual breakthrough.
