The Babylonians/ Egyptians history in science was? (3 things)
- 1. rudimentary geometry & astronomy = suited to the practical needs of an agricultural population
- 2. Disinterested Curiosity- Babylonian priests kept records of the rising and setting of heavenly bodies (=astrology).
- 3. Primarily Practical: little disinterested curiosity
-
The greeks history in science was? (2 things)

-
What were the Romans history in science? (2 things)
- 1. spirit of disinterested curiosity died-essentially practical people
- 2. Attitude= what is the use of it?
-
What were the medievalists history in science? (3 things)
- 1. (romans to renaissance): produce nothing in science
- 2. Outlook on life made science unnecessary

-
What was the Renaissance history in science?(4 things)
- 1. (14th-16th centuries): 1st clear expression of the modern scientific outlook (LL., renascentia, new birth):
- 2. Leonardo Da Vinvi (1452-1519) Never published
- 3. Galileo (1564-1642) Not perfect scientific man; did not fully realize the necessity of confirming mathematical deductions by experiment (- "used experiments only to prove to those less wise than he what he already knew to be true").
- 4. Newton (1642-1727) Scientific outlook reached full consciousness
-
What is the basis of science?
Observation and experimentation= mathematical deduction, checked by further experiment
(=independent and self-enclosed system, borrowing nothing from metaphysics or theology = dominating outlook of the scientific world.)
