CULTURA ISLAMICA SI ISTORIA INFLEXIUNILOR IMAGINARULUI DESCRIPTIV
Keywords:
descriptive imaginary, history of science, scientific representation, scientific practiceAbstract
The present paper aims to analize the influence of Muslim Golden Age upon the rise of Modern Natural Science in Europe. This influence was minimised or even neglected for quite a long period of time in Western scientific literature, due to europocentric tendencies of modern Anthropology and History of Science. We are going to use the concept of „descriptive imaginary” as a methodological tool, our main goal being that of underlying the turning points within the evolution of descriptive imaginary associated to the process of transition from pre-scientific practices to genuine scientific practices in Natural Science historical evolution.
