ScienceNauka inu itssvom originaloriginalnom sensesmislu isje areč wordza fortip a type of knowledgeznanja ([[LatinLatinski]] ''[[wikt:scientia|scientia]]'', [[Ancient Greek]] ''[[wikt:episteme|epistemē]]''), rather than a specialized word for the pursuit of such knowledge. In particular it is one of the types of knowledge which people can communicate to each other and share. For example, knowledge about the working of natural things was gathered long before recorded history and led to the development of complex abstract thinking. This is shown by the construction of complex calendars, techniques for making poisonous plants edible, and buildings such as the pyramids. However no consistent conscientious distinction was made between knowledge of such things which are true in every community and other types of communal knowledge, such as mythologies and legal systems.

Before the invention or discovery of the [[concept]] of "[[nature]]" ([[Ancient Greek]] ''[[phusis]]''), by the [[Pre-Socratic philosopher]]s, the same words tend to be used to describe the ''natural'' "way" in which a plant grows,<ref>See the quotation in [[Homer]] (8th century BCE) [[Nature#cite note-2|''Odyssey'' 10.302–3]]</ref> and the "way" in which, for example, one tribe worships a particular god. For this reason it is claimed these men were the first philosophers in the strict sense, and also the first people to clearly distinguish "nature" and "convention".<ref>"Progress or Return" in An Introduction to Political Philosophy: Ten Essays by Leo Strauss. (Expanded version of Political Philosophy: Six Essays by Leo Strauss, 1975.) Ed. Hilail Gilden. Detroit: Wayne State UP, 1989.</ref> Science was therefore distinguished as the knowledge of nature, and the things which are true for every community, and the name of the specialized pursuit of such knowledge was philosophy — the realm of the first philosopher-physicists. They were mainly speculators or [[theory|theorists]], particularly interested in [[astronomy]]. In contrast, trying to use knowledge of nature to imitate nature (artifice or [[technology]], Greek ''technē'') was seen by classical scientists as a more appropriate interest for lower class artisans.<ref>Strauss and Cropsey eds. History of Political Philosophy, Third edition, p.209.</ref>
