摘要
According to Richard Westfall (Westfall, 1977) the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century was dominated by two themes: the Platonic-pythagorean tradition "which looked on nature in geometric terms" and mechanical philosophy "which conceived of nature as a huge machine". This paper is an attempt to study the appropriation of Archimedean science in the Scientific Revolution in Western Europe.
