摘要
宇宙学是大航海时代在欧洲兴起的一门科学。15、16世纪的大航海,不仅使欧洲海船的航迹从本土海域转向了全球海洋,而且新的发现给欧洲人的世界观造成了革命性的影响。在此背景下,宇宙学逐渐科学化,并在西班牙、葡萄牙、意大利、德意志等地蓬勃发展和广泛传播。宇宙学的革新涉及方法论、研究者与研究内容等多方面,其解释模式由此摆脱了对古典文献的依赖,成为一门基于经验的实证科学。宇宙学的科学化满足了解释航海新发现的时代需求,同时因其在航海探险与殖民扩张中的实用功能,从而成为具有战略意义的知识工具,服务于欧洲帝国海外扩张的需要。
Cosmography is a science that arose in Europe during the age of great navigation.The great navigation of the 15th and 16th centuries not only shifted the voyages of European ships from their home seas to the global seas,but also revolutionized the European people's world view.In this context,cosmography gradually became scientific,and flourished and spread widely in Spain,Portugal,Italy,Germany and other places.The innovation involved many aspects,such as methodology,researchers and research contents.As a result,the interpretation model of cosmography got rid of the dependence on classical literature,which made cosmography an empirical science based on experience.The transformation of cosmography met the needs of the times in explaining new discoveries in navigation.At the same time,because of the practical function of cosmography in maritime exploration and colonial expansion,it became a strategic knowledge tool to serve the needs of the overseas expansion of European empires.
