Learning outcomes
|
The course acquaints students with three historical stages of European thought, the common feature of which was the respect of the whole world. In defining a myth that conforms to the evolutionary paradigm, man's view of the world always seems reasonable and establishing the possibility of a more complex interpretation, which culminated in ancient science with the emergence of Greek science. Modern theories of the universe appear to be dependent on Greek axioms in the basic coordinates of the description, which moved the 20th century to the theory of relativity and quantum physics.
The students will acknowledge themselves with the informations acording to the goal and the matter of the course.
