Is it possible to quantify history? The studies described in this book cover approximately three thousand years of the history of Greco-Roman and Western civilizations in the following cultural fields: science, philosophy, literature, visual arts, and music. This is a biographical analysis, and each of these fields is represented by its key figures, based on their birth, peak, and death dates, as well as their nationality. Predicting the future is risky. Those who attempt to do it are usually wrong. Therefore, the predictions made in this book are qualitative and general, although they may still prove useful.
