Science and technology: From prescientific times to the present

Abstract

This article is in two parts. The first goes back to the earliest historic, prescientific era, circa 3,500 B.C. The second, from circa 1,600 A.D. to the present, omits the explosion of quantity and variety of information, but continues the main thread, standing upon the shoulders of modern psychology and logic. The view, although much clearer, is still controversial. Strong relations tie the origins of science with those of information science. The role of the latter will probably be enhanced as future civilizations become more closely dependent on classification of ideas and on science and technology, or “scitech.” © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
