Abstract

In the Aristotelian system, knowledge is divided into three types: productive knowledge, which is a means of producing results for the benefit of mankind, practical knowledge, which guides behavior, and theoretical knowledge, which cannot be used as a tool for any purpose. These types of information are usually seen as unrelated and independent information fields. This article argues that this notion is not correct and tries to explain the relationship between the mentioned fields of knowledge by revealing the relationship between theoretical knowledge and productive knowledge. For this, first of all, the subject of physical science should be determined, and then the connection of natural art (non-practical art) with physics should be determined. By explaining this law, the concepts of "productive knowledge", "productive art" and "theoretical knowledge" and the relationship between these concepts are intended to be made clear and clear. Clarification of these concepts and the relationship between them also shows the debt of the modern classification of sciences to Aristotle; It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between modern engineering sciences and the basic sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology).
