The universal debate on science and art

Published : Monday, 5 August, 2024 at 12:00 AM  Count : 186
Recently the debate of science and art has globally become a very attractive subject. Actually it is very hard to say which one is more important as compared to the other. Different people have different opinions regarding this issue. Science, in fact is the organised or basic knowledge. There are several explanations, methods, ideas which have the basis of science. But in case of art which partially depends on science and partially on the ability to create something new, interesting and extraordinary, such as decision making, correct reasoning, skill, intellectual ability and some of the related factors.

The basic engineering knowledge is science and the use of this knowledge for designing and fabricating aerospace is an art. Likewise, the basic knowledge of economics, management, psychology, political science, sociology is the science and their practical applications for development of the country are the arts. Highly educated people have scientific approaches but real things given in practical point of views are very rare. A question arises several times, why some people perform better or are recognised more as compared to the others. There are large numbers of personalities who have enough basic knowledge in the field of economics. But most of them are involved in traditional jobs of different organisations and their contributions are limited within the area of that organisation. But a few economists are completely different and they are the global figures throughout the world. The noble laureate, Prof DrAmartya Sen is one of them. Amartya Sen is an Indian business analyst and logician of Bengali ethnicity, who has taught and worked in the United Kingdom and the United States since 1972. Dr Sen has made commitments to the welfare of financial aspects, social decision hypothesis of why something works or happens the way it does, monetary and social equity, financial speculations of starvations, and lists of the measure of the prosperity of individuals of creating nations. He was granted the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1998 and Bharat Ratna in 1999 for his works in welfare of financial aspects. He was additionally granted the primary Charleston-EFG John Maynard Keynes Prize in acknowledgment of his work on welfare financial matters in February 2015 amid a gathering at the Royal Academy in the UK. He is presently regarded as an educator in the Thomas W Lamont University and Harvard University in the field of Economics and Philosophy. He served as the chancellor of Nalanda University.

Sir Isaac Newton has been referred to as one of the best genii in history. His numerical and logical accomplishments offer assurance to such a view. Albert Einstein's hypotheses were to lay the system for new branches of physics. He additionally turned out to be outstanding as a helpful, revolting against atomic weapons - weapons he had indirectly contributed towards creating. James Maxwell was one of the most influential physicists. Specifically, he made extraordinary strides in helping to understand electromagnetism and delivered a bound together with a model of electro-attraction. Living in the same time period as Plato and Alexander the Great, Aristotle helped to establish the frameworks for western civilisation through his extensive variety of scholarly and logical studies. Aristotle was one of the considerable polymaths of his time. He contemplated under Plato and in this way learned much about the immense thoughtful customs of Socrates. Marie Curie was a Polish researcher who won a Nobel Prize in both Chemistry and Physics. She was the first female professor at the University of Paris and made earth shattering work in the field of Radioactivity.

Srinivas Ramanujan never had any formal education in mathematics. He was altogether self-educated in advanced mathematics since he inferred the greater part of the hypotheses himself. He found numerous new hypotheses, however, the greater part of them were dismissed in light of the fact that no one trusted that they should be possible. In any case, he became one of the best mathematicians to ever live, and his genius is compared with Isaac Newton. Mendel was a priest, not a researcher. But he figured out how genetics worked. He used to plant blossoms in the cloister and tested by reproducing distinctive hued ones to see the result. That is the means by which he discovered how hereditary qualities functioned. In any case, nobody trusted him since he didn't have a formal science degree. Benjamin Franklin added to drafting the Declaration of Independence when the United States accomplished freedom. He dropped out of school when he was only 10. Can you believe that Henry Ford never had formal school training? He practically invented the assembly line - the reason products can be made so rapidly in production lines today.

These are the some examples for explaining clearly about the science and art. Science may be the basis of a person, but it can be varied with individual differences. Few persons have used science more effectively and contributing to the world by their distinct personalities. And these have made them exceptional from others. But sometimes art is more influential than science. 

In that case art was used as a basis of science. Education in every case is not the solution of future challenges but the practice of art can make a man as a real contributor of the world. Sustainable development and climate change, clean water, population and resources, democratisation, global foresight and decision making, global convergence of IT, rich-poor gap, health issues, education and learning, peace and conflict, status of women, transnational organised crimes, energy, science and technology, global ethics are the future global challenges. These challenges are transnational in nature and trans-institutional in solution. Only science or art alone is the solution to theses global challenges. The combination of them is the best solution for present and future human life.
