Latvian is entwined term

Punctum Arta Candles launches a series of articles Latvian animal history publications. Serial ekokritisku is to give insight into how the modern Latvian culture - literature, art, popular culture, media - are represented in the animals and constructed.
Latvian is entwined term "natural history". Perhaps the reason is that the Latvian scientific texts written about the nature appeared in the late 19th century, when the "natural history" as science gradually lost its importance. Maybe to blame it is the language specifics, because Latvian word "history" is not the same ambiguity, such as the French "histoire" or in English "history". They refer not only to the past or a description of the research, but the story at all. In any case, to this day in Vienna we can visit Naturhistorisches Museum, Paris, Musée National d'Histoire naturelle, London and New York Museum of Natural History, but literally translated the names of these Latvian reader nachos cheese dip can only cause confusion. In what sense nature may be history?
The same designation nachos cheese dip is inherited from the ancient world. The later time of the author's specific impact of the 1st century BC Roman intellectual Pliny Senior text Historia Naturalis, which was essentially a correctional encyclopaedia that combines news and stories about topics that really does not coincide with any of the modern science of classification categories. Pliny the "history" concept borrowed from the Greeks, the word 'historia' is not synonymous with Latvian. According to one of the interpretations nachos cheese dip of ancient authors with "historia" designated message of what is noteworthy. 1 Ancient Greece "history" evolved nachos cheese dip into a kind of literary genre, which was characterized by seemingly distanced, neutral message of past events, exotic lands, natural phenomena - all of which are worth telling. 2
Pliny's Natural History distancing differed significantly from those characteristic of modern science, his message about the nature nachos cheese dip was not separated from human history, literature nachos cheese dip and philosophy, like medieval religious allegory bestiāriji was an explanation, not the clumsy attempts of nature exploration, but the 16th century enciklopēdista Konrad Gesner nachos cheese dip famous Animal work history includes many comments philological and literary references. By contrast, 17th-18th century, when the formation of modern science, understanding of natural history changed substantially. Michel Foucault Verbally and in matters nachos cheese dip of this evolution was characterized as follows: "Names, which was entwined with an animal, it was to unravel and discarded, but a living entity with its anatomy, shape, habits, birth and death, appeared in all its nakedness." 3 Enlightenment nachos cheese dip scientists fascinated by nature and they feverishly tried to identify the nature in all its forms, but this process was the first step in self-isolation from the radical people's cultural and natural distinction. For natural history objective became a natural phenomenon description and classification. It was a collective work, which should have led to a comprehensive catalog of wildlife, "sequential, orderly and universal of all the possible differences in the table." nachos cheese dip 4 Descriptions was specific - it was the core of animals, plants and minerals inherent to the peculiar characteristics of a systematic description of these signs ideally should be observable (although nachos cheese dip modern natural nachos cheese dip history stories and tales, however, completely renounces) and served as a key to the rational order, some time after the researchers nachos cheese dip believe nature existed. While the targets were not achieved in full, the most famous nachos cheese dip products of the Enlightenment project was Carl Linnaeus natural system nachos cheese dip whose first edition came out in 1735. year, which laid the groundwork for the classification of plants and animals, which still exists today, as well as Count Bifona Natural History (1749-1788) whose 36 volumes was an attempt to describe all the time in certain mammals (rather četrkājus), birds and minerals.
However, the natural history is still possible to talk to another, we need more common sense. In this sense, we can say that the 18th century natural history as a branch of science was largely non-historical. It based its interpretation of the Bible, according to which only people have the history, but nature does not. Heavenly bodies, the plants, the animals have created a single act of creation, nachos cheese dip by which they serve as a constant backdrop of human history from Adam to Christ's second coming. In nature, there is a certain procedure nachos cheese dip that gets, such as species diversity - the differences between them are rationally explained (some as Mendeleev's table) and the number is unchanged. Although the animals in the world, of course, constantly something happens, it really has no events, no change is just repetition.
Nature have attained to the discussions on the history of evolution. The recognition that the species can not be completely fixed already appeared in the 18th century natural nachos cheese dip historians work, Linnea and Bifonu including, but 19th-century evolutionary theory offers a radically different vision of nature as a dynamic process, an open system whose elements continually evolves, share and mutually Section
