What gcle says. I'm sorry I was not clear enough, but I was in a hurry, as pretty much always.

yes, science has always been paramount in history, not only for the technological development (which is paramount in modern and contemporary history, yet significant also during previous ages ) but also for its influences (and clashes!) with philosophy, religion and culture in general.

Moreover, also the changes in the scientific knowledge are informative per se. For instance , Aristotle believed force created velocity, not acceleration. How can this be important? well, for instance they could not grasp the importance of reducing friction in order to gain speed and, in fact, in classic world lubricants were used mostly to reduce force dissipation, in particular in cranes or such.

Many are also the ways science and technology were influenced by other facts of life. For instance the pre-colombian civilizations did know the wheel (a wheeled toy was found) but they never used it the same large-scale way other civilization did, possibly because of the mainly mountainous and forest-covered  environments where the main of them were located.

Finally history of technological development is interesting because it's a clear case of historical determinism, i.e. most (all?) defvelopments seem to be pretty much unavoidable. Evidence of that is the very common disputes between inventors: the radio, the telephone th e television and many other technologies had been invented nearly contemporay by many people pretty much the same time, so that it is clear that "times were ready" for them.

Looks good dawn.
Only one question, Philosophy and Society and religion probably shouldn't have that many 'and's in it, and should it have Society at all? Or should we drop that from the name and allow those threads to go to Social Sciences? I also think Theology is better than religion for two reasons, 1) It sounds better, and 2) We're more likely to get better and more interesting threads on religion that way.

I agree with Omar's post as a whole.
 
As Society somewhat can be counted in sociology, it would be better to integrate it into Social Sciences, while Theology sounds more academic than religion.

Takes a little while to get used to hitting the tavern and ban section first when using the active topics button. But everything is far more logical this way... And I like the fresh new forums too, change is good. Smile
