THE CONTRIBUTION OF AN OUTSTANDING SCIENTIST AND ENCYCLOPEDIST OF THE EASTERN RENAISSANCE ABU RAYHAN AL-BIRUNI TO WORLD SCIENCE

Abstract

The article deeply comprehends the historical and philosophical essence of the Eastern Renaissance, which marked the beginning of the Renaissance, clarifies its influence on world culture, and clarifies its conceptual features. Also, representatives of the so-called “Eurocentrism” point of view put the culture of the West above the culture of the East; until yesterday, they discriminated against the people of the East in all respects and considered them undeveloped and backward peoples. They even tried to prove that the Renaissance was a European phenomenon. And such opinions and views are supported by scientific arguments that prove that they do not correspond to any truth. Of course, the above-mentioned criteria for revival began to be observed in the social structure of China from the 7th century, Central Asia and Iran from the 9th century. No matter how we look at it, the Renaissance period embraces rapid growth and development of the economy, spiritual and material culture of the peoples of the entire region. Its emergence is deeply connected with the interaction of spiritual and religious influences, the prerequisites for economic development, a unified policy, and most importantly, the creativity of the individual efforts of the geniuses of these peoples. Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Khorezmi, Ferghani, Biruni, Balasagin, Kashgari, Bukhari, Samarkandi and others contributed to the rapid development of the Eastern Renaissance. We celebrate with pride. This short scientific article is dedicated mainly to the 1050th anniversary of the famous medieval scientist and encyclopedist Abu Rayhan Beruni and talks about the outstanding contribution of the great thinker to world science.
