History of Science: Antiquity to 1700 [36 Episodes]

[Nguyen Trung Hoa]

"All human beings, by nature, desire to know."

?Aristotle, The Metaphysics

For well over 2,000 years, much of our fundamental "desire to know" has focused on the area we now call science.

In fact, our commitment to science and technology has been so profound that these now stand as probably the most powerful of all influences on human culture.

To truly understand our Western heritage, our contemporary society, and ourselves as individuals, we need to know what science is and how it developed.
Who, in fact, were the scientists of the past?
What was the true motivation for their work?
Is science characterized by lone geniuses, or is it tied to culture and the needs of a particular society?
Does science really operate in a linear progression, from discovery to discovery?
What does history reveal about the nature of religion and science?
