回答: 席泽宗不光造牛顿的谣，还造伽利略的谣 由 guoxj 于 2005-7-09, 15:00:05:
根据eng的文章，席专家是要努力证明古希腊的思想和现代科学没啥关系，其中席专家的两段话：
1，“逻辑的严密性并不能保证结论的正确性”
这么说并不能达到目的，如果伽利略说，逻辑的不严密或者错误也能保证结论的正确，那还差不多。
2，“伽利略认为，在物理学中，基本原理必须来自观察和实验，逻辑和数学只是实验数据的工具和手段，而不是对先验目标的追求”
关于伽利略的数学观念，wikepedia中有一段：
While Galileo's application of mathematics to experimental physics was innovative, his mathematical methods were the standard ones of the day. The analyses and proofs relied heavily on the Eudoxian theory of proportion, as set forth in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements. This theory had become available only a century before, thanks to accurate translations by Tartaglia and others; but by the end of Galileo's life it was being superseded by the algebraic methods of Descartes, which a modern finds incomparably easier to follow.
