希腊和印度的宇宙学：早期历史回顾
Greek and Indian Cosmology: Review of Early History
摘要：
本文概述了早期希腊和印度的宇宙观。这两个传统似乎已经独立发展，虽然在亚历山大的时间，他们有意识地意识到对方。由于两门科学的宇宙观不同，它们的侧重点和风格也不同。在这两种文明中，唯一或多或少以相同方式工作的科学可能是医学。但即使在这里也有重要的区别。两门科学之所以在知识上各行其是，是因为他们的世界观不同。例如，印度天文学家从来没有注意过托勒密的模型，与他们自己的概念相比，它的水晶球看起来很有限。另一方面，对于希腊人来说，使用印度天文学的巨大时标肯定是不必要的。
英文摘要：
The early Greek and Indian cosmologies are summarized in this paper. The two traditions appear to have developed independently although after the time of Alexander they were consciously aware of each other. The focus and style of the two sciences was different owing to their different cosmologies. Perhaps the only science which worked more or less the same way in the two civilizations was medicine. But even here there was important difference. The reason why the two sciences went their own way in spite of the knowledge of the other was because their worldviews were different. Indian astronomers, for example, never paid any attention to Ptolemy's model with its crystalline spheres that looked restrictive compared to the vast scale of their own conception. On the other hand, the use of enormous time scales of Indian astronomy must have appeared unnecessary to the Greeks.
