1 is the first time in human history to form a rational view of nature. Regard nature as a whole independent of human beings, and think that nature has laws that people can understand and grasp.
2. The isomorphism of man and god in ancient Greek mythology embodies the ancient Greeks' view of organic nature, and the genealogy of god embodies the characteristics of Greek logical thinking.
3. Pay attention to mathematical thinking. So that mathematics began to become an independent spiritual activity.
4. Because the Greeks pay attention to rational thinking and have little practical activities, they only know nature and don't conquer and dominate it.
Major achievements:
1, astronomy: the emergence of this round of averaging theory, ancient Copernicus.
2. Mathematics: Euclid geometry, apollonius conic curve theory, Archimedes became the peak.
3. Biomedicine: Aristotle's spontaneous generation theory, and Alkell, the father of medicine, initiated western anatomical physiology, Hippocratic oath and four-fluid theory.
4. Physics: Aristotle's falling motion and forced motion, Archimedes' law of buoyancy, lever principle and the creation of geometric optics.
5. Engineering technology: Parthenon, Ionian Island, railway, transportation, water conservancy construction.
The influence and significance of ancient Greek science
1. In the classical period, ancient Greek philosophers began to think deeply and explore the natural world. Among them, Thales, anaximander and Heraclitus are considered as pioneers of natural philosophy. They try to explain natural phenomena from a philosophical point of view, such as attributing everything to basic elements such as water, fire and earth.
2. During the period of Alexander the Great, the science of ancient Greece began to expand eastward. The conquest of Alexander the Great enabled different cultures and knowledge to communicate and merge in the ancient Greek world. During this period, mathematics, astronomy, medicine and other disciplines have been greatly developed. For example, Euclid wrote Geometry Elements in the field of mathematics, which became one of the cornerstones of mathematical logic.
3. During the Hellenistic period, science began to be further specialized and developed in a more practical direction. During this period, various disciplines have developed into an independent knowledge, such as medicine, physics, astronomy and so on. At the same time, the science of ancient Greece also had a far-reaching impact on later civilizations such as Rome and Arabia.
