| Zusammenfassung: | This is a study of the long-standing question of why modern science arose only in the West and not in the civilizations of Islam and China. The author points out that from the tenth century to the thirteenth the Arabs had the most advanced science in the world. Arab astronomers even invented non-Ptolemaic planetary models that are equivalent to those of Copernicus, yet they failed to develop modern science. While the Chinese underwent a high level of mathematical development during the European High Middle Ages, they generally lagged behind the Arabs in physical theory, optics, astronomy, and experimentation To explain this outcome the author explores the cultural - religious, legal, philosophical, and institutional - contexts within which science was practiced in Islam. China, and the West. He finds in the history of law and the European cultural revolution of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries major clues as to why the ethos of science arose in the West, permitting the breakthrough to modern science that did not occur elsewhere. This line of inquiry leads to novel ideas about the centrality of the legal concept of corporation which is unique to the West and gave rise to the concepts of neutral space and free inquiry |

Press 1993 XIV, 409 S. Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier This is a study of the long-standing question of why modern science arose only in the West and not in the civilizations of Islam and China. The author points out that from the tenth century to the thirteenth the Arabs had the most advanced science in the world. Arab astronomers even invented non-Ptolemaic planetary models that are equivalent to those of Copernicus, yet they failed to develop modern science. While the Chinese underwent a high level of mathematical development during the European High Middle Ages, they generally lagged behind the Arabs in physical theory, optics, astronomy, and experimentation To explain this outcome the author explores the cultural - religious, legal, philosophical, and institutional - contexts within which science was practiced in Islam. China, and the West. He finds in the history of law and the European cultural revolution of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries major clues as to why the ethos of science arose in the West, permitting the breakthrough to modern science that did not occur elsewhere. This line of inquiry leads to novel ideas about the centrality of the legal concept of corporation which is unique to the West and gave rise to the concepts of neutral space and free inquiry Geschichte Anfänge-1700 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1000-1600 gnd rswk-swf Ciencia - China - Historia Ciencia - Europa - Historia Ciencia - Países musulmanes - Historia Maatschappij gtt Natuurwetenschappen gtt Geschichte Naturwissenschaft Science Arab countries History Science China History Science Europe History Science Islamic countries History Araber (DE-588)4002528-7 gnd rswk-swf Naturwissenschaften (DE-588)4041421-8 gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 gnd rswk-swf Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Europa Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 gnd rswk-swf Islamische Staaten (DE-588)4073172-8 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf Araber (DE-588)4002528-7 s Wissenschaft (DE-588)4066562-8 s DE-604 Islamische Staaten (DE-588)4073172-8 g Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s Geschichte 1000-1600 z Naturwissenschaften (DE-588)4041421-8 s Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 s China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Geschichte Anfänge-1700 z DE-188 Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 g |
