Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio Categoriae:Eruditi" differant

::::::::::I think your earlier suggestion ''scientiae periti'' is more suitable for covering the category: ''physici'' seems (to me) to go with a narrow definition of ''science''. I'm not sure whether botanists, etc., could be called ''physici''. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 09:40, 5 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)

 

What is the difference between this category and [[:Categoria:Eruditi]]? Note that [[:Categoria:Eruditi]] currently does not have interwiki links. Perhaps this category should be merged into [[:Categoria:Eruditi]]? --[[Usor:UV|UV]] 23:44, 4 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)

:The difference (in my mind) is between scientists (''Scientiae periti'') and the rest (''Eruditi''): people who study in subject areas not describable as science. The borderline is hazy, of course. Not many would call a theologian, a historian or a bibliographer a scientist. As to linguistics and economics, opinions vary. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 09:37, 5 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)

::1) Are not all scientists also ''eruditi'' (but not the other way round)?<br>2) I think, we have here again the problem that Latin words have different meanings in different modern languages. ''Science'' is not the same as ''science'', which is not the same as ''Wissenschaft'' (see also civilisation/Zivilisation and culture/Kultur). So we must decide, which modern meaning (usually the Anglo-Saxon) we should adopt. --[[Usor:Alex1011|Alex1011]] 10:07, 5 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)
