摘要
中世纪欧洲传承了古罗马的技术实用精神,创造出可观的技术成就,给黑暗的中世纪以光明。其间渗透着对技术的怀疑;经院哲学唯名论思想中,有对技术的渴望和谨慎的肯定;而基督教和《圣经》中蕴涵的自然观,反映出《圣经》主张人可以支配自然,为技术活动提供了宗教依据;中世纪的中后期则明显地表现出对技术的肯定态度,孕育出一种新的技术乐观主义。但无论怎样,中世纪还是主张把技术置于神性之下。
Medieval Europe carried forth a pragmatism spirit of technology from Classical Rome, brought out technological achievements considerably, and therefore shed a leading light upon the dark era, holding a skeptical thought toward technology; however, Medieval scholasticism had a thirsty will for and a cautious affirmation about technology; Christianity and the view of nature fostered by the Bible held that man's control over the nature is acceptable by the Bible, thus providing a religious basis for technological activities; In the latter period of Middle Ages, a positive view of technology was formed, leading to a new optimism about technology. Yet in anyway in Middle Ages, technology was proposed to be under divinity.
