摘　　要：当代学术界通常将科学革命定义为一个划分传统与现代的“奇点”这种“断裂论”预设了科学与文学作为“两种文化”在现代性背景中的“二元对立”,并导致现代世界观与价值观愈发重理轻文、薄古厚今。本研究回溯奠定了当今实证价值体系的17世纪英国实验科学,通过考察现代实验科学与传统“文学世界观”之间的关系、“实验科学之父”罗伯特·波义耳在制造实验事实过程中运用的文学技术,以及他在陈述科学事实时使用的叙事模式,试图说明现代知识秩序的重置、理性思维的兴起与科学实证话语的建构立足于人文的认识论与知识论传统,并希冀借此历史化的跨学科案例挑战当下蔚然成风的“两种文化”之见,审思人类智识的内在统一性。Contemporary academics typically define the Scientific Revolution as a pivotal event that marked a departure from tradition.Such theory of"disjuncture"assumes a stark division between science and literature,portraying them as"two cultures"that have been in conflict since the onset of modernity.Consequently,there has been a growing emphasis on reason superseding literature and the past overshadowing the present in contemporary worldviews and values.This study delves into 17th-century British experimental science,often seen as the bedrock of today's empirical and factual value system,to explore the interplay between modern experimental science and its literary epistemological underpinnings.Specifically,the study examines the literary techniques and scientific narratives employed by Robert Boyle in shaping experimental facts.Through this analysis,the article aims to demonstrate that the reformulation of the modern knowledge order,the ascent of rational thought,and the establishment of scientific empirical discourse are rooted in humanistic epistemological traditions.By presenting this historical and interdisciplinary case study,the article seeks to challenge the prevailing notion of"two cultures"and prompt a reevaluation of the uniformity of human knowledge.
