The period of history which is commonly called “modern” has a mental outlook which differs from that of the medieval period in many ways. Of these, two are the most important: the diminishing authority of the Church and the increasing authority of science.在通常被称为“近代”的历史时期，人们的思想观念在许多方面与中世纪时期不同，其中重要的认识区别有二：一是教会之权威日衰，二是科学之权威日盛
The authority of science, which is recognized by most philosophers of the modern epoch, is a very different thing from the authority of the Church, since it is intellectual not governmental. No penalties fall upon those who reject it; no prudential argument influence those who accept it. It prevails solely by its intrinsic appeal to reason.科学之权威已为近世多数哲学家所承认,它与教会的权威大不相同,因为它是理性的权威而非统治的权威.对科学之权威,人若反对不会受到惩罚; 人若承认,也无须谨小慎微,唯恐出言不逊, 科学权威之所以大行其道,唯一的原因在于诉诸理性是它的根本.
It is moreover, a piecemeal and partial authority; it does not, like the body of Catholic dogma, lay down a complete system, covering human morality, human hopes, and the past and future history of the universe. 此外, 科学的权威是就事论事的权威, 是建立在局部之上的权威, 它不像天主教的教义, 设立了一个包罗万象的体系, 将道德准则, 人类理想, 乃至宇宙的过去与未来尽揽其中.
It pronounces only on whatever, at the time, appears to have been scientifically ascertained, which is a small island in an ocean of nescience.它只在科学业已验证的时刻, 对业已获得科学实证的东西做出评价, 哪怕那成果不过是未知领域的沧海一粟.
There is yet another difference from ecclesiastical authority, which declares its pronouncements of science to be absolutely certain and eternally unalterable: the pronouncements of science are made tentatively, on a basis of probability, and are regarded as liable to modification. This produces a temper of mind very different from that of the medieval dogmatist. 科学的权威还有一点不同于教会之权威.教会每有宣示, 必定称之为千真万确, 万事不移. 而科学则宣称, 其结论或是暂时的, 或是基于某种可能的, 或是应该被认为有修正的可能的. 科学家思想的特点截然不同于终于时期的固守教义者,就在于此.
