Quotes by George Saliba (?)

“مما يؤسف له ان المستشرقين الذين درسوا تاريخ العلم العربي قد ركزوا بوجه عام على ربط ماسموه بعصر الانحطاط العلمي بحملة الغزالي على الفلاسفة الذين اقتدوا بالفلسفة اليونانية فلذلك أهمل المستشرقون ومعظم مؤرخي علم الفلك العربي حتى فترة متأخرة هذة العلوم الجديدة”

“العوامل الاجتماعية هي التي تدعم نشوء العلم، وأن العلم بحد ذاته يخلق مناخاً اجتماعياً يتحلى بمعطيات تغير بدورها العلاقات الاجتماعية التي تسمح بحصول هذا دون ذاك”

“عصر الانحطاط إذا بالنسبة إلى تاريخ العلوم هو ذلك العصر الذي نسي فيه رجال الدين حديثوا العهد العلوم التي كانوا زملائهم يمارسونها بجدارة وإبداع خلال العصور السالفة…وبدأت فيه الطبقة التي تم ثقيفها إما في معاهد الدول المستعمرة ذاتها أو تحت تأثير الاستعمار في المعاهد الإرسالية وغيرها تنظر إلى تاريخها الحضاري نظرة إشفاق وإهمال”
