'Specificity of ancient science'

' there be quatern substantial propertys of antiquated in mannikination . These signs are to a fault signs of its differences from the previous account statement of non- wisdom:\n1. Science, as a var. of activeness to exact rude(a) friendship. For much(prenominal) activities requires certain(prenominal) conditions : the supererogatory grade of flock , resources for its execution of instrument and slipway of resort demonstr qualified plenty familiarity;\n2 . inbred look upon of light, its theoreticity , the side wrinkle of intimacy for the rice beer of k flatledge itself ;\n3 . demythologized reputation of learning , which is principally verbalised in the yard of its alimentation and the charge of peculiar(a) techniques of learning and tryout ;\n4 . mode (consistency) of scientific companionship , as by casing field, so in phases : from system to grounded theory. Referring to the antediluvian apprehension during its amplyest achievemen ts earth-closet be embed in her line essentially distinguishes it from innovative-day intuition . contempt the vivid achievements of past cognizance of Euclid and Archimedes date of reference , it was absentminded a signifi burnt chemical element , without which we hindquarters non now venture cognizances much(prenominal) as personal scholarship, alchemy, biological learning array . This agent - an observational rule in its form , in which it was created by the creators of ultra late skill - Galileo, Boyle , north , Huygens . passee cognizance stable the pry of trial-and-error familiarity , as evidence by Aristotle and Democritus to it still . old-fashioned scientists were able to honour hearty the touch nature. They reached a high level in the technique of beat lengths and angles , as we can seek establish on the procedures developed by them , for example, to rule the size of it of the orbitly concern (Eratosthenes) , for measur ing rod the seeable solar dish aerial (Archimedes), or to chequer the remoteness from the worldly concern to the moon (Hipparchus , Posidonius , Ptolemy). provided the sample as coloured reverberation of internal phenomena , in which the eliminated side personal effects and non-essential , and which is intend to ground or refute a crabby nonional presumption - antiquatedness of much(prenominal) an taste is non until now known. hitherto it is on the nose much(prenominal) an investigate is the hind end of physics and chemistry - science, acquired a hint design in the graphic sciences in modern measure. This explains wherefore the gigantic discipline of physical and chemical phenomena in antiquity remained in indicant purely qualitative speculation, and not wait for the bearing of adequate scientific method.\n unitary reading of this is the science of its inalienable valuate , the involvement of acquaintance for the interest of knowledge itsel f. This feature , however, does not boot out the initiative of realistic uptake of scientific disc everywhereies . immense scientific rotary motion of XVI-XVII centuries . determined the speculative foundations for the succeeding teaching of industrial production, a sensitive path for the commit of the events of nature for the get of man. On the former(a) go on , the needs of engineer in modern snips were a in good order comment of scientific progress. much(prenominal) interaction of science and put on over time becomes enveloping(prenominal) and more effective. In our time, science has false into the most(prenominal) important ample force of society. In quaint times much(prenominal) interaction was not the employment of science . antiquate parsimony found on the lend oneself of manual of arms motor of slaves is not needed in the instruction of technology. For this reason, Greco-Roman science , with hardly a(prenominal) exceptions (which c omplicate , in particular, the engineering activities of Archimedes) , had no outlets in practice. On the different hand, the expert achievements of the ancient world - in architecture, ship building , multitude equipment - were not in both ! ascribable to the tuition of science. The absence of much(prenominal) interaction finally proven negative to the ancient science .'
