İLKÇAĞDAN MODERNİZME; BİLİM, SANAT VE FELSEFE BULUŞMALARI

Akin to science, art came into being due to the human beings’ curiosity and desire to render life beautiful, to understand and conceive the world and to dominate the natural events. As a human activity born out of life, art is known to be coetaneous with humanity. Scientific activities start with the History of Civilization. When the development of science and art is considered, it is seen that, starting from the East, it zigzagged between the West and the East. These periods could be listed as the empirical period that took place during the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations; the period in which the Ancient Greeks laid the cornerstones of the rational system to explain the universe; the period that covers the scientific studies of the Islam world against the West struggling with the religious dogmas of the Medieval; the outstanding period of scientific and artistic studies on the verge of Renaissance; and the Modern Epoch science and art. When these periods are examined chronologically, the science and arts of the civilizations that were rooted in the East survived until now, at times one coming to front and at times the other pioneering the other. However, it is apparent that, as the indivisible corners of a triangle, science, philosophy and art could not be taken separately even if their reciprocal effects are appreciated all along history.
