Hellenophilia
Hellenophila
(See also Philhellenism)
Hellenophilia is the idea that all western science began in Greek tradition.〔Pingree,David. "Hellenophilia versus the History of Science". Isis, 1992, 83, 554-563.〕 This is in length discussed by David Pingree in his address to colleagues. Hellenophilia is a way of thought that allows those who look into the history of science to be blinded to science that was born in other cultures. Pingree states, in explanation of the term that "a Hellenophile suffers from a form of madness that blinds him or her to historical truth" (Pingree, 1992, p. 554) He continues by explaining the main symptoms of Hellenophilia "the first of these is that the Greeks invented science; the second is that they discovered a way to truth, the scientific method, that we are now successfully following; the third is that the only real sciences are those that began in Greece; and the fourth (and last?) is that the true definition of science is just that which scientists happen to be doing now, following a method or methods adumbrated by the Greeks, but never fully understood or utilized by them" (Pingree, 1992, p. 555).
Although Hellenophilia relates directly to the history of science it is important to look at it through aspects of history that lend to the habit, other than the symptoms listed by Pingree. One of these habits, as described by David C. Lindberg is looking at the history of science as starting with writing in fully syllabic systems.〔Lindberg, David C. "The Beginnings of Western Science". The University of Chicago Press. 1992, 2007.〕 According to Lindberg the beginning of syllabic writing was around 1500 B.C., although fully alphabetic writing was apparent in Greece in 800 B.C. (Linberg, 2007, p. 10).
