摘　　要：伽利略通过消解亚里士多德物理学中不同质的对立进而从物理学的数学分析中达到他的原子论思想。伽利略的原子论消除了天上与地上物质性的差异,使天文学上的物理陈述与数学陈述达成一致,为哥白尼天文学革命的实现提供了形而上学基础,同时,也为以数学和实验方法为特征的近代科学奠定了认识论与方法论基础。By dissolving the opposition of different qualities in Aristotelian physics and through mathematical analysis of physics, Galileoattained his idea of atomism.Galileo's atomism removes the distinction between matters on the earth and in the heaven, thus mathematical statementsand physical statements in astronomy reach an agreement, thereby providing metaphysical foundations for Copemican astronomical revolution.Thishas also laid an epistemological and methodological foundation for modem science which is marked by mathematics and experimental method.
