Classical The word classical has several meanings:
Pertaining to the societies of the classical antiquity , ancient Greece or Rome. For example, the Greek and Latin languages, classical architecture and the cult of the Olympian gods. See also Greek mythology and Roman mythology . The study of all the foregoing may bear the name of the classics .
In parallel to the preceding meaning, we can speak of (say) Classical Chinese or Classical Indian culture or aspects of culture when referring to a perceived apex in the development of a society or of its arts. See for example Indian classical music .
Pertaining to the arts (painting , music , literature , etc.), the word "classical" often refers to the period of art or style known as Classicism , which has a high regard for classical antiquity. This style predominated in the 18th and early 19th centuries between the Baroque and Romantic periods. See classical music , classical dance .
Any mode of scientific thought prevalent at the time of some radical new innovation . For example, contemporary scientists can characterise the physics of Isaac Newton as "classical", since the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics have challenged its assumptions. See also classical mechanics .
