Abstract

Galileo’s early inquiries on motion and free fall in Pisa (1588–1592) can be regarded as a case study of multiple knowledge transfer at the very basic roots of modern mechanics. The treatise De motu, unpublished until 1890, is an original but unsuccessful attempt to go beyond Aristotelian physics by extending Archimedean hydrostatics to the dynamics of natural motion and reappraising the late-medieval impetus theory to account for violent motion and acceleration. I will discuss in particular why Galileo was forced to abandon his project before moving to Padua and how the manuscripts De motu provided him with a “research agenda” for further theoretical and experimental investigation.

从阿基米德流体静力学到后亚里士多德力学:伽利略的早期手稿De motu antiquiora(约1590)

伽利略在比萨(1588-1592)对运动和自由落体的早期研究可以被视为现代力学最基本根源的多重知识转移的案例研究。直到1890年才出版的论文《论运动》(De motu)是一篇原创的、但不成功的尝试，它将阿基米德流体静力学扩展到自然运动的动力学，并重新评估了中世纪晚期的动力理论，以解释剧烈运动和加速度。我将特别讨论为什么伽利略在搬到帕多瓦之前被迫放弃他的计划，以及《德摩图》手稿如何为他提供了进一步的理论和实验研究的“研究议程”。

期刊介绍： Physics in Perspective seeks to bridge the gulf between physicists and non-physicists through historical and philosophical studies that typically display the unpredictable as well as the cross-disciplinary interplay of observation, experiment, and theory that has occurred over extended periods of time in academic, governmental, and industrial settings and in allied disciplines such as astrophysics, chemical physics, and geophysics. The journal also publishes first-person accounts by physicists of significant contributions they have made, biographical articles, book reviews, and guided tours of historical sites in cities throughout the world. It strives to make all articles understandable to a broad spectrum of readers – scientists, teachers, students, and the public at large. Bibliographic Data Phys.
