> Modern science is derived from Christian Scholasticism from the middle ages No, I don't think so. It seems much more based on ancient Greek geometry and logic, the Indian numeral system and Arabic algebra. Modern science really took off after Galileo, at the time when the ancient Greek works were recovered in Europe and could be synthesized with the arithmetic and algebra of these other cultures. Galileo himself credits the "divus" Archimedes as his main inspiration. What aspects of Christian scholasticism do you think developed into modern science? |
