The word'Natural Philosophy'or philosophy of nature in latin 'philosophiae naturalis',was coined to refer to the scholastic study of nature,a practice that was dominant prior to the evolution of mordern science.It is the harbinger of mordern science,which was begun from the ancient Aristotellian times when it was coined 'natural philosophy'.And by the 19th century,the term'natural philosophy'refering to the physical study of nature was later coined 'mordern science'.From the Romantic movement of the 18th and 19th century,a revival in the paradigm of natural philosophy was conspicuous in the German tradition and scholarship of great philosophers such as Goethe,Hegel and Schelling and their contemporaries made prominent contribution to the field.Natural philosophy,is one of the branches of philosophy.The first specialist in the field of natural philosophy Jacopo Zabarella,came in 1577 at the University Of Padua.From the mid-19th century,it came to mean or refers only to 'physics'and not even medicine per say.
