A lo largo de muchos siglos, los eruditos-escribas del cuneiformes produjeron una cultura textual del aprendizaje que organizó el conocimiento del mundo fenoménico según lo definido por sus intereses particulares. El término antiguo para esta cultura fue ṭupšarrūtu "el arte del escriba". Que concedamos a esta cultura una designación científica no está exento de problemas desde las perspectivas tanto de la filosofía moderna de la ciencia como de la historiografía convencional de la ciencia.

Ao longo de muitos séculos, escribas eruditos cuneiformes produziram uma cultura textual de aprendizado que organizou o conhecimento do mundo fenomênico como definido por seus interesses particulares. O termo antigo para essa cultura era ṭupšarrūtu, “a arte do escriba”. Conceder a essa cultura a designação de científica não é livre de problemas, se visto das perspectivas tanto da filosofia moderna da ciência como da historiografia convencional da ciência. Este ensaio traz uma reflexão sobre os anacronismos gerados ao se transpor tais ideias sobre ciência ao mundo pré-moderno cuneiforme e as consequências que essas ideias têm sobre uma historiografia da ciência inclusiva em relação aos textos científicos cuneiformes.

| description |
Over the course of many centuries, cuneiform scribe-scholars produced a textual culture of learning that organized knowledge of the phenomenal world as defined by their particular interests. The ancient term for this culture was ṭupšarrūtu “the art of the scribe.” That we grant this culture the designation scientific is not without problems from the perspectives both of modern philosophy of science and of conventional historiography of science. This essay reflects on the anachronisms entailed in transposing such ideas about science to the premodern cuneiform world and the consequences these ideas have on a historiography of science inclusive of cuneiform scientific texts. |
