Study Notes
Copernican Revolution
- The Renaissance fostered a renewed spirit of inquiry in arts and sciences, reviving classical knowledge previously preserved in the Muslim world.
- Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a Sun-centered planetary system, significantly simplifying explanations for planetary movements compared to the Ptolemaic model.
- Copernicus, who published his findings in 1543 on his deathbed, observed Earth’s motion relative to Mars, explaining retrograde motion.
- Despite his groundbreaking ideas, Copernicus maintained the concept of uniform circular motion, leading to poorer predictive accuracy than the Ptolemaic charts.
Darwinian Revolution
- Charles Darwin's seminal work, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859, revolutionized scientific thought and challenged religious beliefs regarding creation.
- Darwin developed his theory of evolution through extensive correspondence with peers, indicating a methodical and organized approach to his ideas.
- His theory emphasizes the influence of natural selection and the importance of shared ancestry—a notion that garnered both acclaim and critique, with varying interpretations through history.
- Darwin's work is often invoked in various social discourses, including eugenics and discrimination, demonstrating the complex legacy of his contributions to science.
Freudian Revolution
- Sigmund Freud, considered the father of Psychiatry, introduced innovative ideas regarding the unconscious mind, dream interpretation, and human behavior.
- Freud proposed a three-tier model of the human psyche: the id (instinctual desires), the ego (the mediator), and the superego (moral conscience).
- The superego processes societal and parental guidance against personal desires, leading to internal psychological conflict.
- Freud's theories posited that adult personality stemmed from childhood experiences, both conscious and unconscious, shaping emotional development.
- The id, seen as the core of human instinct, is in constant pursuit of satisfaction in all endeavors, creating psychological dynamics at play in human behavior.
