The Architecture of Modern Science: From Renaissance Axioms to Interdisciplinary Technological Convergence
Abstract
The evolution of scientific thought from the Renaissance to the contemporary era represents a fundamental transition in the human cognitive framework, moving from a search for teleological explanations to a systematic pursuit of predictive control and technological synthesis (Klein, 1996; Tuomi, 2009). This transformation was initiated by a radical departure from the Aristotelian traditions that dominated medieval scholasticism, characterized by a shift away from internal logical analysis toward external observation and the integration of mathematics as the primary language of natural law (Scientific Revolution, n.d.; Zuazua,2001). To understand the current landscape of interdisciplinary science and its myriad technological applications, it is necessary to examine the first principles that govern biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, tracing their historical trajectory and the conceptual bridges that have eventually unified them.
