To what extent is knowledge discarded rather that built upon in art and the natural sciences?

Knowledge seems to be improved and built upon more in science where theories are constantly being tested and improved and seems to be discarded more in art where different types of art come into style during different…

If you ask me my heart hasn't been broken so hard in my life as, when I found out that everything I knew was a lie. It destroyed me. I'm only 16 years old, but I'm very intelligent with the new knowledge I have of thyself. It's pretty cool to learn about all these new things and know where I really come from.

Whether the ideals of the army of France and the army of Europe were disconnected in the 100 Years War, or between science and religion during massive amounts of death, like the plague, there was a severe distinction between the two.

He also gifted them with the knowledge of different trades: brick making, woodworking, astrology, science and math, language, domestication of animals, navigation of the sea, medicine, dream and omen interpretation, and metal working. Without this surplus of knowledge, humans would be like ‘ferbies’. Ferbies are not conscious. They are…

evidenced by how Oberon can affect who loves who, positions the audience to question whether anything they do is done freely. While Romeo and Juliet have explicit references to astrology (“I defy you stars” and “star crossed lovers”) those in A Midsummer Night’s Dream are subtler, but still there. The blending of ideas of astrology is prevalent as the moon serves as a motif for change and disruption, this is seen in Scene 3 Act 2 in which the first fight, one between Hermia and Demetrius,…

analyze the painting through several different lenses. Some critics view this work as a religious piece depicting a story from the Bible. Others contend that Van Gogh was driven by the historical influences and public fascination with astronomy and astrology at the time.

At the time he was being held in a mental asylum, he would…
