The document summarizes key aspects of the Enlightenment period in the 18th century. During this time, philosophers and thinkers argued that reason should be the foundation of society and guide progress. They explored ideas around what it means to be rational and the social contract theory that government exists to serve the people. The Enlightenment led to the creation of new literature, philosophy works, and the first encyclopedia. It inspired revolutions in America, France, and Haiti. However, it also increased racism and paved the way for imperialism by marking some societies as "enlightened" and others as "unenlightened."

Unit 2 - Scientific Revoltuion
The document discusses the Scientific Revolution, a period beginning in the 1500s that marked a major change in how people investigated and understood the world. It describes two key ideas: the heliocentric model with the sun at the center of the universe rather than Earth, and the scientific method as the dominant means of investigation. It also notes this shift began a long conflict between science and the Church, as faith was replaced by reason as the primary way to understand truth.
(English Enlightenment)
The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that dominated European society from the 17th to 18th centuries. It emphasized reason, science, logic and freedom of thought over myth, faith and absolute authority. The Thirty Years' War, scientific discoveries, and criticism of mistreatment by monarchies and the church fueled the Enlightenment. Enlightenment thinkers produced books and essays that challenged traditional ideas and spread new philosophies, influencing political and social change across Europe.
Revolutions
The Scientific Revolution challenged old Greek and Roman teachings and the geocentric theory that the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory that the sun was at the center. Galileo challenged Aristotle and proved Copernicus right through experiments. However, Galileo was sentenced to house arrest by the Church for his findings. Later scientists like Newton formulated laws of motion and Boyle discovered gas laws, improving the scientific method. The Enlightenment started with philosophers like Hobbes and Locke who advocated for natural rights and social contracts. Thinkers like Voltaire and Montesquieu influenced ideas around separation of powers and democracy.
Scientific Revolution
The document discusses the Scientific Revolution and the degree to which it transformed views of science and religion in the West. Before the Revolution, the West was largely dominated by superstition, but the Revolution brought a rational, scientific view that challenged religious orthodoxy. However, key figures like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton still followed pursuits like astrology and alchemy. The Revolution was also a long process over a century, involving both Protestant and Catholic responses as core beliefs changed, such as the Earth moving from the center of the universe to orbiting the Sun.
Scientific revolution
The Scientific Revolution occurred from 1542 to 1700 and marked a shift from ancient authorities to new ways of studying the natural world through mathematics and experimentation. This was fueled by the printing press spreading new ideas, exploration exposing Europeans to new knowledge from Muslim scholars, and technology from navigation driving scientific research. The old geocentric model of Earth as the center of the universe gave way to the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus of Earth revolving around the Sun.
22.1 the scientific revolution
The Scientific Revolution began in the mid-1500s as scientists began questioning accepted beliefs and making new theories based on experimentation and observation, rather than relying solely on religious texts and ancient sources. This led to the development of the scientific method and major advances including Copernicus' heliocentric theory, Galileo's discoveries supporting it, Newton's laws of motion and universal law of gravitation, and discoveries in fields like chemistry, medicine, and microscopy that improved understanding of the natural world.
Intellectual Revolutions
This document discusses several major intellectual revolutions throughout history:
The pre-Socratic revolution questioned the nature of the universe and how it worked. The Copernican revolution introduced the heliocentric model which placed the Sun, not Earth, at the center of the solar system, transforming society's view of the cosmos. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was one of the most controversial as it proposed life descended from common ancestors over time through a process of adaptation, contradicting religious beliefs. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory introduced the idea of the unconscious mind influencing behavior and composed of three elements - the id, ego and superego. These intellectual revolutions were initially controversial but eventually widely accepted, transforming societies'
Scientific Revolution
The Scientific Revolution occurred between the 15th and 17th centuries when scientists began using empirical evidence and the scientific method to study nature. They based their work on observation and experimentation rather than ancient authorities like Aristotle. Key figures included Copernicus, who developed the heliocentric model of the solar system with the sun at the center; Kepler, who showed planets have elliptical orbits; and Galileo, who supported the heliocentric model with observations using his telescope. During this period, philosophers also began applying scientific principles to philosophy, politics, and economics, laying the foundations for the modern world.

Enlightenment and scientific revolution short
The document summarizes the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment period from 1550-1789. During this time, the Scientific Revolution led to a shift away from the geocentric view of the universe to a heliocentric model based on observation and experimentation. This challenged traditional religious beliefs. The Enlightenment furthered this questioning of established ideas and authorities through the use of reason. Enlightenment thinkers advocated for natural rights, challenged relationships between rulers and citizens, and believed society could be improved through rational reforms. The Enlightenment's legacy included beliefs in progress through reason, a more secular worldview, and emphasis on individualism.
Freedom Of The Press
This document provides historical context for understanding freedom of the press by discussing the Enlightenment period in Europe from the 15th to 18th centuries. Major developments included the emergence of Protestant sects challenging the authority of the Catholic Church, technological advances like the printing press, and philosophical shifts like emphasizing reason and observation over just faith alone. This led to conflicts between governments, monarchs, and religious groups over power and authority. The document specifically discusses how John Milton argued for freedom of the press in his 1644 work "Aeropagitica," protesting censorship and arguing people should decide what to read, which laid the foundation for later principles of free speech and the First Amendment. However, Milton and Oliver Cromwell were still
1009 The fall of the Roman Empire and its impact.
This document discusses medicine in the ancient world from 500AD to 1700AD and the impact of the fall of the Roman Empire on medicine. It provides learning objectives about assessing the impact of Rome's fall, describes how the wars between kingdoms destroyed Roman advances like public health systems and libraries, and led to limited communication and fewer opportunities for doctors to learn and train. As a result, medicine regressed for 1000 years during the medieval period in Europe.
1011 What role did the Church have on medical developments
The document provides information about the Church's influence on medieval medicine and attitudes toward disease. It discusses how the Church played an important role in medieval ideas about the causes of disease. During the Black Death, many people believed illness had supernatural causes, while other ideas involved miasma or humoral imbalances. When the plague hit, people lost faith in medical professionals and turned to religious explanations instead. Minority groups were falsely blamed for spreading disease.
Scientific revolution
During the Scientific Revolution, a new understanding of the world developed as discoveries led scholars to challenge traditional thought. Figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Vesalius used the scientific method and observations from tools like the telescope and microscope to prove theories like Copernicus' model of a sun-centered solar system, overturning the church-sanctioned view. This shift to logical, evidence-based thought influenced both scientific inquiry and democratic political ideas.
Scientific Revolution Power Point
Several factors contributed to the rise of the Scientific Revolution:
1. The spirit of the Renaissance and Reformation encouraged curiosity, questioning of established authorities, and discovery of new ideas through direct observation rather than religious doctrine alone.
2. New tools like the telescope, microscope, barometer, and thermometer enabled more accurate measurement and study of the natural world.
3. The development and widespread use of the scientific method, including experimentation, mathematical analysis, and repetition of work for verification, established standards for validating new theories based on evidence rather than tradition.

Intellectual Revolutions that define Society
The document discusses several intellectual revolutions that have transformed society:
1) The Copernican revolution shifted the view of the solar system from a geocentric to a heliocentric model.
2) Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection revolutionized biology by providing an alternative to creationism.
3) Freudian theory revolutionized psychiatry by introducing concepts like the unconscious mind, psychoanalysis, and theories of personality development.
4) The Information Revolution, also known as the Computer Age, has greatly transformed modern living through new technologies.
Science vs
The Catholic Church's teachings were challenged by scientific discoveries during the Scientific Revolution, threatening the Church's power. As a result, the Church persecuted scientists like Galileo who questioned Church doctrine, ordering Galileo to recant his beliefs or face death. This led philosophers to use scientific reasoning to challenge political powers and create more free societies.

Democratising Culture
What are the forces that contribute to cultural innovation and change, and how should cultural policies and institutions approach it, given their various (purist, modernist, nationalist, economic) agendas? In this exploration, I try and argue for the role played by "ordinary people" through their diffused but pervasive "everyday actions and practices", suggesting that this is a vital and democratic force that must be championed at all costs as it is essential to building social capital. In our increasingly globalized and corporatized society, the role of the ordinary person is gradually transforming from an active agent-creator to a passive recipient-consumer, leaving less and less scope for individual creativity and innovation. While this triggers a subversive and tactical re-appropriation of cultural goods as shown by de Certeau, I ask why artistry and culture cannot remain a common, affordable and easily-accessible praxis as it still does in Indian and other "poor & under-developed" societies, rather than turning into a premium and exclusive commodity.

Emergence of Sociology -II.doc
The document discusses the emergence and development of sociology. It traces the roots of sociological understanding back to ancient Greek and Roman literature. However, sociology emerged as a systematic study of society in the West. Significant figures in the development of sociology include Saint-Simon, Comte, and Durkheim. Saint-Simon advocated studying society scientifically like the natural sciences. Comte coined the term "sociology" and emphasized discovering social laws through observation and experimentation. He believed sociology would be the most complex science. The industrial revolution and changes in society led these early theorists to examine social problems and establish sociology as a means to study and reform society.
