PRE - CLASSICAL & CLASSICAL SCIENCE, Really?

MYTH?
For those of YOU that are weary of all the "political" crap being thrown our way these days, I offer YOU this post. This stuff will either "opyn your mindz" or, make your head explode. Either way, it is a diversion! YOU might even learn something. Thanks to my fellow educated and awake soul Terrell Ali.

ORIGINS TO NEWTON - A BRIEF OUTLINE
Dr Robert A. Hatch - University of Florida

I. 'Pre-Scientific' Thought:

A. Frankfort's view of myth:

1. A subjective mode of explanation/description of Nature, based on an 'I-Thou' intimacy with Nature; hence, a highly individual approach to phenomena concentrating on specific aspects rather than general patterns.

a. This approach was decisively overturned by the Pre-Socratics who developed a supposedly objective 'I-It' relation with Nature.

B. Giorgio de Santillana's view of myth:

1. Many myths seem global in character, indicating that, in spite of vast geographical separation, various cultures were attempting to explain a 'shared experience'.

a. This shared experience was a comprehension of large cosmic events such as the precession of the equinoxes.

b. The capability of 'primitive' cultures to comprehend such events is indicated, if Gerald Hawkins is right, by Stonehenge.
