Study Notes
Introduction to the Intellectual Revolutions
- Focuses on the intersection of Science and societal development.
- Highlights the transformative impact of Science and Technology on society.
Scientific Revolution
- Science is deeply woven into human society, existing as long as civilization.
- Earliest brain surgery, trepanation, dates back approximately 6,000 years in Cappadocia, Turkey.
- Over 1,000-year-old Chinese agricultural practice involves raising fish in rice paddies, promoting sustainability and benefiting local communities.
Mummification in the Philippines
- Mummification preserves deceased individuals, classified by preservation methods and mediums.
- Ancient Egyptians mummified to ensure the soul recognized the body for eternal life after death.
Definitions of Science
- Science as an Idea: Encompasses theories, ideas, and systematic explanations of the natural world.
- Science as an Intellectual Activity: Involves systematic observations and experimentation to understand phenomena.
- Science as a Body of Knowledge: Describes it as a discipline focused on learning about nature.
- Science as a Personal and Social Activity: Represents human efforts to enhance understanding of the world.
Philosophy and Rationalization
- Development of philosophy provided explanations for natural phenomena, often intertwined with religious rationalizations regarding the origins of life.
Period of Enlightenment
- Spanned from the 15th to 17th centuries, marked by significant developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry.
- Considered the emergence of modern science, fundamentally altering societal views on nature.
Historical Context of the Scientific Revolution
- Occurred in Europe between 1550-1700, leading to shifts in thought, belief, and social organization.
Conflict with Religion
- Resistance from rulers and religious leaders against early scientific theories.
- Scientific figures faced severe consequences, including death, yet continued to pursue knowledge.
Key Figures and Their Contributions
- Nicholaus Copernicus: Developed the heliocentric model, publishing in 1543, positioning Earth and other planets in orbit around a stationary Sun; faced condemnation and censorship from religious authorities.
- Charles Darwin: Proposed the Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection; embarked on a voyage aboard HMS Beagle and published "The Origin of Species" in 1859, challenging prevailing religious views.
- Sigmund Freud: Pioneer in psychology, known for his method of Psychoanalysis that explores human mind and sexuality; challenged traditional views on human nature and neurosis.
Trepanation and Early Medical Practices
- Trepanation involved creating a round hole in the skull, one of the earliest recorded brain surgeries dating back around 6000 years in Cappadocia, Turkey.
Innovations in Agriculture
- Ancient China practiced the innovative method of raising fish in rice paddies, a technique dating back thousands of years.
Mummification Practices
- Mummification in the Philippines is especially prominent in Northern Luzon, notably in Cordillera regions such as Benguet, Ifugao, and Mountain Province.
- Mummies are categorized based on preservation methods and materials used.
- Egyptians engaged in mummification to ensure easy identification of their bodies in the afterlife, aiming for eternal life.
The Scientific Revolution
- Spanning from 1550-1700, the Scientific Revolution brought significant changes in thought and social organization primarily in Europe.
- Science emerged as a systematic study of the natural and physical world, incorporating theories, observations, and experimentation.
Philosophy and Enlightenment
- Philosophers sought noble ideas to explain phenomena, leading to transformation in societal views through disciplines like mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry during the Enlightenment.
Key Figures and Their Contributions
-
Nicholaus Copernicus
- Proposed the heliocentric model in 1543; faced bans and resistance from the Roman Catholic Church.
-
Charles Darwin
- Introduced the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection and published "The Origin of Species" in 1859, following a key voyage on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands.
-
Sigmund Freud
