Physics and Philosophy

Originally any investigation into discovering truth fell under the subject of philosophy.  However, through the years the sciences grew to be concerned a separate, distinct field.

This web page discusses how such changes took place—at least from a western civilization bias.  We start with the Greeks and their approach to problem solving, move to the natural philosophers, and finally touch on mathematics and the developments in the 19th century.
