Study Notes

Scientific Revolution

  • The Scientific Revolution (16th-17th centuries) was a period of significant change in thinking about the natural world
  • It involved a shift from traditional views (often based on religious or philosophical beliefs) to more empirical and scientific methods of investigation

Key Figures

  • Nicolaus Copernicus: Proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, suggesting the sun, not the earth, was the center.
  • Johannes Kepler: Developed laws describing planetary motion and orbits
  • His work build on earlier work and expanded the understanding of elliptical orbits.

Enlightenment

  • This period, roughly the late 17th and 18th centuries, saw a flourishing of philosophical ideas in Europe
  • Philosophers stressed reason and individual rights, challenging traditional authorities

Enlightenment Key Characteristics

  • Emphasis on Reason: Focus on human reason as a means of understanding and solving problems
  • Empirical Observation: Valuing observation and experimentation to understand the world, leading to scientific advancements
  • Individual Rights: A focus on individual liberty, natural rights, and freedoms

Political Philosophers During the Enlightenment

  • Thomas Hobbes: Advocated for a powerful sovereign to maintain social order. He published Leviathan. Described humans as inherently self-interested and prone to conflict.
  • John Locke: Argued for natural rights (life, liberty, and property). Believed individuals should have a say in government, contrasting Hobbes' authoritarian views. He emphasized natural rights and individual freedoms as central to his political philosophy.
