William Harvey has long been celebrated as the founding father of physiology for refuting Galen and demonstrating that blood circulates round the body. Yet after his training at Padua, he became a committed Aristotelian: although strongly influencing the new observational sciences of the seventeenth century, Harvey himself looked back towards the classical past.
长期以来,威廉·哈维一直被誉为生理学之父,因为他驳斥了盖伦的观点,并证明血液在全身循环。然而,在帕多瓦接受训练后,他成为了一名坚定的亚里士多德主义者:尽管他对17世纪新兴的观察科学产生了重大影响,但哈维本人却回望古典时代。
