History of the Concept of Art



The word "science" seems to have been used for many years in about the same sense as "art"; for example, people spoke also of the seven liberal sciences, which were the same as the seven liberal arts [1]. Duns. Scotus in the thirteenth century called logic "the Science of Sciences, and the Art of Arts" (cf. [12, p. 34f]). As civilization and learning developed, the words took on more and more independent meanings, "scJ,. ence" being used to stand for knowledge, and "art" for the application of know~edge. Thus, the science of astronomy was the basis for the art of navigation. The situation was almost exactly like the way i'n which we now distinguish between ~science" and "engineering."
