1. Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath during the Renaissance who perfected techniques like sfumato, aerial perspective, and linear perspective. However, he often did not finish projects and few of his works remain.
2. The Scientific Revolution began in the 16th century led by figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. They used careful observation and experimentation rather than relying on ancient authorities, challenging ideas like the geocentric model of the universe.
3. Enlightenment philosophers like Descartes, Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau advanced ideas about rational thought and limiting governmental power, influencing concepts like separation of powers and social contracts between rulers and citizens.

Natural resources are the materials which are required for the survival and prosperity of human beings.
Life of resources can be prolonged by using them diligently
The resources can be useful for a longer period of time and for a larger number of people.
During consumptive use, prevent exploitation, destruction or neglect.
Art and Culture - Module 11 - EnlightenmentRandy Connolly
Eleventh and final module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one ever so briefly covers the aesthetics of the Enlightenment. I only had a single lecture available to me so it only really covers the topic in a very cursory way.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

4. Linear Perspective
The Last Supper by Leonardo Di Vinci
A mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. Artists must
imagine the picture surface as an open window. Involves three ideas.
1 The horizon line runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer.
2 The horizon line is where the sky appears to meet the ground.
3 The vanishing point should be located near the horizon line. The vanishing point is where all parallel
lines that run toward the horizon line come together like train tracks in the distance.
5. Aerial perspective
Distant landscapes look bluer
and more blurred. Nearest
objects are painted their true
color. Objects in the
background are
proportionately bluer and
blurred.

organisms, muscle fibers,
bacteria, spermatozoa,
and blood flow in
capillaries.
22. Gabriel Fahrenheit
1686-1736
Developed the first mercury
thermometer with a standardized
scale,
The Fahrenheit scale divided the
freezing and boiling points of water
into 180 degrees.
32°F was the freezing pint of water
and 212°F was the boiling point of
water.
0°F was based on the temperature of
an equal mixture of water, ice, and
salt.
The first portable self-registering
thermometer, first designed in 1780, which
recorded the maximum and minimum
temperatures reached. Designed by James
Six (1731-1793)
23. Evangelista Torricelli
1608 –1647
Invented the Barometer in 1643
This instrument measured the
pressure of the earth’s atmosphere.
A glass tube with a height of at least
84 cm, closed at one end, with an
open mercury-filled reservoir at the
base.
Mercury in the tube adjusts until the
weight of the mercury column
balances the atmospheric force
exerted on the reservoir.
Torricelli documented that the height
of the mercury in a barometer
changed slightly each day and
concluded that this was due to the
changing pressure in the atmosphere.
The pressure is the level of the
mercury's height in the vertical
column. 1 atmosphere is equivalent to
about 760 millimeters of mercury.
24. Rene Descartes
1596 - 1650
A French philosopher
Believed that every idea
should be doubted and proven
Believed that God created two
realities: Physical reality and
what people think
People can use their rational
mind to understand the truths
of the physical world. But
cannot totally trust the senses.
Eroded the authority of the Scientific Rationalization
church and established forms “I think, therefore I am”
of government
25. John Locke
1632–1704
Wrote Two Treatises of Government:
1690
Said government was an agreement or
contract between the people and the
ruler
The people allowed the ruler to rule as
long as he ruled fairly
The people had the right to overthrow
the ruler if he did not honor this
contract
The ruler must accept the natural
rights of his subjects: life, liberty and
property
26. Baron de Montesquieu
1689 –1755
He is famous for his
articulation of the theory
of separation of powers
Thought government
worked best when the
power of the ruler was
limited.
Government worked best
when divided into three
parts: legislative,
executive, and judicial.
27. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
1712 –1778)
Made contributions to political and
moral psychology, active composer
and music theorist, pioneer of modern
autobiography, a novelist, and a
botanist.
Appreciation of the wonders of nature
and his stress on the importance of
feeling and emotion made him an
important influence on and anticipator
of the romantic movement
Believed people should participate
directly in the government they elect;
champion of democracy.
Contracts between subjects and rulers
should not be severed for trivial
reasons.
