艺术与科学有着既对立、又统一的关系,许多科技巨匠、文化先哲曾有着精辟的论断。比如,近代科学史学科的重要奠基者之一,著名的新人文主义的倡导者乔治·萨顿曾对科学与艺术的关系作出这样的阐释——理解科学需要艺术,而理解艺术也需要科学。他说:“艺术和科学最明显的差别在于科学是逐渐进步的,而艺术则不然。正因为科学的本质是不断进步,因而其成果不是经久持年的。每项成就或早或晚注定要被更好的成果所取代,失去其实用价值,成为博物馆展柜中被人遗忘 Art and science have both antagonistic and unified relations. Many science and technology pioneers and cultural pioneers have had incisive conclusions. For example, George Sutton, one of the leading founders of modern history of science, and famous neo-humanist advocate George Sutton, explained the relationship between science and art in such a way that understanding science requires art and understanding art requires science. He said: ”The most obvious difference between art and science is that science is progressing while art is not. Just because science is constantly evolving, its results are not sustained for many years. Each achievement is doomed sooner or later To be replaced by better results, losing their practical value, as a museum showcase was forgotten
