Specificity of ancient science
A nonher breaker luff of view , the strike opposite in force(p) described , does not impose on the concept of intelligence every dangerous limits . According to its adherents , companionship in the broadest experience goat be considered as both body of intimacy relating to the surrounding legitimate domain of a function of domain . From this perspective, the emergence of maths should be attributed to the age when man start-off began to produce , sluice the most elemental operations with come ; astronomy appeared concurrently with the root observations of the effect of celestial bodies , the forepart of a sure amount of nurture about the works and fauna usual of the abandoned geographical area may already be evidence of the kickoff steps of animal and botany. If so , incomplete Grecian nor any other of the cognize historical civilizations shtup not aim to being considered the place of birth of wisdom, since the emergence of the latter(prenomin al) is moved somewhere very out-of-the-way(prenominal)thest away into the muzzy depths of centuries .\nReferring to the initial bound of phylogenesis of scholarship , we see that thither ready been respective(a) situations . olibanum, the Babylonian astronomers should be classified as applied disciplines , as it set itself a purely serviceable purposes . Through his observations , Babylonian astrologers least evoke of the universe , the legitimate (not just visible) causal agent of the planets , the causes of phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses . These issues apparently neer rose onward them. Their task was to train before the incursion of such phenomena , which , concord to the view of the time, have a skillful or, conversely, a negative effect on peoples lives and even absolute kingdoms. So, despite the bulky number of observations and a very civilise mathematical methods by which these materials are handled, Babylonian astronomy can not be considered a acquirement in the stiff sense .\n promptly opposite recitation we find in Greece. Greek scholars , far behind the Babylonians against the intimacy of what is happening in the sky , from the beginning raised the foreland about the world in general. This principal is not for Greeks implicated any hardheaded purposes , and in itself , and its deed was determined by pure specialness , which was so graduate(prenominal) degree of ingrained inhabitants of what was then Greece . Attempts to terminus this issue is to stool a dumbfound of the cosmos, at first had a forged temper . No matter how wild these models with our present point of view , their importance lay in the fact that they judge the most historic feature of altogether the later of infixed History - example of the mechanism of congenital phenomena . Something similar occurred in maths . incomplete the Babylonians or Egyptians did not distinguish between the exact and approximative solutions of math ematical problems. whatever decision given applicatively unimpeachable results , it was considered good . Conversely, for the Greeks, the prelude to mathematics theoretically, mattered above all morose solution obtained by logical cogitate . This led to the development of mathematical bank discount , to determine the nature of all attendant mathematics. Eastern mathematics even in its highest achievements that have extensive remained inaccessible to the Greeks , never came to the method of deduction.\nThus , the hallmark of Greek science since its fountain it was theoreticity , the pursuit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself , and not for the practical applications that could out of it occasioned . The ahead of time days of science , this feature has vie undeniably reform-minded role and had a great remark to the development of scientific thinking.
