The Origins Of Mathematics From Ancient Empires
1,602 wordsI. A Cultural Perspective Mathematics, aptly named the queen and handmaiden of the sciences, is for us the quintessential expression of the scientific worldview. As we learn, our conception of mathematics grows and changes, with the distillation of millennia of human effort to conceptualize the abstract added in layers. It is as difficult for us to gain a perspective on our view of mathematics as it is for us to see beyond any other aspect of our worldview. But fantasy affords us the opportunity...

Theory Of Evolution Universal Principle
1,499 wordsHuman beings constantly create hierarchies by arranging all things known to them in order of rank. Hierarchies are abound in man's life: our laws, for example, have differing degrees of punishment depending on the severity of the crime. Yet, the ultimate question becomes whether human beings would be justified in creating a hierarchy for the different disciplines of knowledge. If the presence of a clearly observable universal principle governing the discipline is used as a ranking criterion, the...
