Scientific theories are said to 'carve nature at its joints'. Individual sciences, however, carve nature at different levels of analysis and explain different types of phenomena. To illustrate, imagine a situation in which a physicist, a biologist, and a psychologist all attend the same baseball game. During a particular inning, the pitcher throws a curve ball and strikes a batter out. If someone were to ask ' Why did he throw a curve ball?' the psychologist could provide a satisfactory answer to this question by making use of mainstream psychological consturucts such as knowledge and desires.

科学の理論は、自然をその接合部で切り分けると言われます。 しかし、個々の科学は、自然を異なるレベルの分析で切り分け、異なるタイプの現象を説明します。説明するために、物理学者、生物学者、心理学者が、全員、同じ野球の試合を見に行ったと想像して下さい。 あるイニングで、ピッチャーは、カーブを投げて、バッターを三振に取ります。 もし誰かが、「なぜ彼は、カーブを投げたのか?」と尋ねたら、心理学者は、知識と願望と言った様な主流の心理学的構成概念を利用して、この質問に満足のゆく答えを提供することが出来るかもしれません。

     In contrast, neither the physicist nor the biologist could provide a satisfactory answer using mainstream constructs from physics or biology. For example, the physicist would have to say something like ' Air currents operating over the laces caused the ball to curve........' Note that such answer tell us why the ball curves and how a human body can move to produce a curve ball. but the do not directly answer the question asked above.

Work was carried forward and largely completed during the imperial period, substituting a superior material, limestone, for the volcanic tuff of the original project. What is striking is the piecemeal nature of the development, which produced facades on different alignments and plans with shifts of orientation. The Macellum, the principal food-market, at the northeast corner of the forum, is not securely dated and it too could belong to the Julio-Claudian phase. Although there had been an early attempt to build a colonnade round the piazza, dated, on the basis of an inscription, to the 8os BC, this may never have got much further than the southern end.

    General assent to the Ptolemaic theories was made easier by two factors, both a reflection of "human nature: first, the system rested upon natural appearances, upon things as they were seen by any casual observer; and, second, they fed man's ego. How pleasing it was to believe that the earth was the center of the heavens, with the planets and stars revolving about it. The whole universe seemed to be made for man. This beautiful structure remained substantially intact until the coming of the great era of intellectual awakening in Europe-the Renaissance. Its destruction was the work of Nicolaus Copernicus, "a churchman, a painter and a poet, a physician, an economist, a statesman, a soldier, and a scientist" -one of the “universal men" for whom the Renaissance was celebrated. Copernicus' seventy-year life span, 1473-1543, was one of the most exciting and adventurous periods in Europe's history. Columbus discovered new continents. Magellan circumnavigated the globe, Vasco da Gama made the first sea voyage to India, Martin Luther waged the Protestant Reformation, Michelangelo created a new world of art, Paracelsus and Vesalius laid the groundwork for modern medicine, and Leonardo da Vinci, “that tremendous universal genius" flourished as painter, sculptor, engineer, architect, physicist, biologist, and philosopher. What a fitting age for another brilliant mind, Copernicus, to give the world a new system for the universe.

Immediately to the south of this was a large open space surrounded by a colonnade, perhaps to be interpreted as a gymnasium, and to the northwest was a small palaestra. Two blocks to the north, the Stabian Baths occupied a strategic position next to the intersection of two of the major arterial routes, the strada Stabiana and the via dell’ Abbondanza. Public baths were an amenity increasingly essential to the life-style of Campanian and other south-Italian communities, and a central location was advantageous at a time when very few private householders had adequate bathing facilities on their own premises. Apart from these buildings we can say little about the public landscape of the city before 80 BC. The arrival of the Roman colonists, however, led to a number of clear-cut developments: an influx of veteran soldiers with different social and cultural priorities demanded the provision of a number of buildings that were not previously available.
