Natural Science

Japanese: 自然学 - しぜんがく
Natural Science
It is a translation of the Latin word physica, the English word physics, the German word Physik, and the French word physique, and in all European languages ​​it is also translated as physics. Originally, in Aristotle's classification of sciences, it was one of the theoretical sciences along with first philosophy (metaphysics) and mathematics. It refers to knowledge about the individual things in the natural world that are constantly changing, and it encompasses everything from celestial bodies to living things. Therefore, the study of nature in ancient and medieval times was fundamentally natural science, and it is inappropriate to use the term "physics", which was established after the scientific revolution, in pre-modern times. →Physics→Related topic: Metaphysics

Japanese:
ラテン語physica,英語physics,ドイツ語Physik,フランス語physiqueなどの訳で,欧語はいずれも物理学とも訳される。元来,アリストテレスの学問分類にあって,第一哲学(形而上学)・数学とともに理論学の一つ。生成変化する自然界の個物に関する知の謂であり,天体から生物までを包摂していた。したがって,古代,中世の自然研究は基本的に自然学であり,科学革命を経て成立した〈物理学〉の語を近代以前に用いることは適当でない。→物理学
→関連項目形而上学
