【摘要】：科学和宗教就像是镜子的正反面,密切影响着人们的现实生活。众所周知,科学代表的是理性,影响人们的现实生活,而宗教则是信仰问题,与人类精神世界相关。但是宗教和科学并不是完全分离的,两者是相互联系的。在学术界,宗教与科学的关系问题历来为人瞩目,并引起学者的不断争论。目前在宗教与科学关系问题上,学术界的看法主要有三种:冲突论,无关论,和谐论。笔者认为两者之间复杂而隐秘的关系不是简单的冲突、无关、和谐论可以概括说明的。众所周知,17世纪的英格兰孕育了现代科学,那时英国到处都弥漫着基督教的气息,作为科学发展中心的伦敦皇家学会建立起来了,而成立初期其成员多数又都是清教徒。不由得让人产生这样一个想法:处于17世纪的英格兰,基督教与科学并不是不相融的,近代科学的产生与基督教之间是有一定的渊源关系的。本文主要选取17世纪英国科学革命之初与基督教和自然科学关系都比较密切的一位人物——伦敦皇家学会会员牛顿,以他的主要宗教观点和科学成就为依托,并将其置于具体的历史背景和重大事件中,同时把他人的评述和观点作为参照,厘清牛顿的宗教信仰与他科学成就之间的隐秘联系,从而由点及面,延伸开来,分析17世纪英国基督教和科学的关系。
[Abstract]:Science and religion are like mirrors, closely affecting people's real life. As we all know, science represents reason and affects people's real life, while religion is a question of belief, which is related to the spiritual world of human beings. But religion and science are not completely separate, they are interrelated. In academic circles, the relationship between religion and science has always been the focus of attention, and caused a constant debate among scholars. At present, there are three kinds of views on the relationship between religion and science: conflict theory, irrelevant theory and harmony theory. The author believes that the complex and secret relationship between the two is not a simple conflict, irrelevant, harmonious theory can be summarized. It is well known that modern science was conceived in England in the 17th century, when Christianity was everywhere in England, and the Royal Society of London, the centre of scientific development, was founded, and most of its members were Puritans in its early days. In England in the 17th century, Christianity and science were not incompatible, and there was a certain relationship between the emergence of modern science and Christianity. This paper selects Newton, a member of the Royal Society of London, who was closely related to Christianity and natural science at the beginning of the British scientific revolution in the 17th century, relying on his main religious views and scientific achievements. And put it in a specific historical background and major events, and at the same time use the comments and views of others as a reference to clarify Newton's religious beliefs and his scientific achievements of the secret link, thus extending from point and surface, An analysis of the relationship between Christianity and science in England in the 17 th century.
