Evolution of ThoughtPre Greek------Romans-----M.A.-----Renaissance

Opening ActWhat is the scientific view during the Medieval Period?Intellectual Ethos( Belief System) based on Rationalism (reason) & Secularism (Worldly)Noteworthy AstronomersChanging MindsNicolaus Copernicus- Polish

Tycho Brahe- Danish

Johannes Kepler- German

Galileo Galilei-FlorentineAstronomer/ Church Law- theorized planets & stars moveMajor Challenge to religious and scientific belief (sun center

Astronomer- Recorded 20 years of star gazing- observation

Assistant to Brahe- used Brahes data to create 3 Rules 1. Orbits are elliptical 2. Planets vary speed 3. Orbit-distanceAstronomer/ Mathematician- experimented with motion

Noteworthy MaterialChanging MindsNicolaus Copernicus-Theorize

Tycho Brahe-Observe

Johannes Kepler-Collect Data

Galileo Galilei-Experiment

Creation of the Scientific MethodA way of thinking

Creation of the Scientific MethodA way of thinkingScience and Math are about absolutes

Some of the earlier quotes that I gave youScience is about theorizingScience is about testingScience is about finding things to be true

However, science was not accepted until about 1640

How does it affect your lives today???Think about your favorite hobby- how is science influencing it?????ScienceIts affects on modern manIn your notebook- please identify your hobby

Now, think about how science has influenced your hobby?

What conclusions have you drawn?

Isaac NewtonWhat is Newtons claim to fame??

Newton makes the statementUnited the theories of motion in the heavens and the earthMathematics explained the relationship of planets, movement, and mechanics------natural lawsThis influenced his world-machine viewIf I have seen further (than others), it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants

If I have seen further (than others), it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants

What is meant by this statement?

Think of an example in your life in which this has occurred for youQuote of the Day #8 & 9Science is simply common sense at its bestthat is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.All we know is, nothing can be known.

--Lord Byron

Causes and Consequences of the Scientific Revolution.1. Rise of new universities allowed for philosophy to emergedThe inquiry influenced every major discipline2. Science emerged as a branch of Philosophy then was divided(math, astronomy, and physics)3. Renaissance stimulated science- People looked for great works of the ancients- math4. Navigational problems stimulated science / mathNations worked for solutions to improve sea travel, find long-latstimulated the creation of instruments-clock, microscope, telescopeCauses and Consequences of the Scientific Revolution.Rise in a new group of peopleInternational science community-Shared knowledgeContinual advancementHighly competitiveNew Scientific MethodVery different than old way of gaining knowledgeConclusions based on proof, not tradition or sacred textNew way of thinkingThese ideas DID NOT make their way to applied sciencesDID NOT radically change the way people lived.ReviewConsequences of the Scientific Revolution.Rise in a new group of peopleInternational science community-Shared knowledgeContinual advancementHighly competitiveNew Scientific MethodVery different than old way of gaining knowledgeConclusions based on proof, not tradition or sacred textNew way of thinkingThese ideas DID NOT make their way to applied sciencesDID NOT radically change the way people lived.Timeline of the Scientific Revolution1300-1500 Renaissance stimulates development of mathEarly 1500s Aristotles ideas on movement and universe still dominant1543 Copernicus publishes On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres1572, 1577 New Star & Comet create more doubts about traditional astronomy1546-1601 Tycho Brahe- creates mass of observations1571-1630 Johannes Kepler- creates 3 laws that support Copernican theory, & demolish Aristotles beliefs1589- Galileo Galilei- named professor of mathematics1610- Galileo studies moon with telescope & writes on experience1561-1626 Francis Bacon- advocates experimental (inductive-general to spec)1596-1650 Rene Descartes- discover analytical geometry (deductive-using rul)To about 1630 All religious authorities oppose Copernican theoryAbout 1632 Galileo tried by papal inquistion1622 Royal Society of London founded- brings scientists together1687 Isaac Newton publishes his Principia, synthesizing existing knowledgeTo late 1700s Consequences of scientific revolution primarily intellectualReflection TimeWhats the most important idea to you up to this point?

What are the effects of the scientific revolution?

How does it continue to influence our thinking today.The Enlightenmentthe New Way of ThinkingScientific Revolution changed the way people thought. Ushered in a new period the Enlightenment

The Enlightenment -an 18th-century intellectual movement in Western Europe that emphasized reason and science in philosophy and in the study of human culture and the natural world. ( reached it maturity about 1750)Yet, period of 1687 (Newton) to 1715 that tied science with society

The EnlightenmentPeople began to think that the methods of studying natural science could/should be used to examine all aspects of life.

All things submitted to Rational, Critical, Scientific way of thinking- Society, Politics, and ReligionLaws of human society could be discoveredWith this info, there was an ability to make progress and improve these areas

(STOPTHINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS)

The EnlightenmentAs an age, the EnlightenmentWas thoroughly secular- rejection of religious tradition.Revived & Expanded the Renaissance idealsIndividualismHumanismSecularismProfound influence on thought- culture- upper class.Influential people of the EnlightenmentBernard de Fontelle (1657-1757)- ADDSpread the ideas of the enlightenmentWrote Conversation on the Plurality of WorldsNovel that incorporates enlightenment ideasCreated a conflict with Religion- skeptical of absolutesCynical about organized religion in generalUnique from previous authors, who exalted GODCreated doubt about religious unity, truth

Influential people of the EnlightenmentPierre Bayle (1647-1706)- ADDFrench Huguenot- skeptic- despised Louis XIVConcluded:NOTHING can be known beyond all doubtHumanitys best hope is open-minded toleration

As information from exploration supported his ideas.China, India, America, & Africa all had different beliefs

Europeans looked at truth and morality in relative terms

Influential people of the EnlightenmentJohn Locke (1632-1704) ADDWhat do we know him from before?????Explored how people thought and learnedDescartes had said people born with certain ideas (nature)Locke insisted all ideas are born out of experience (nurture)Human mind is blank- (Tabula rasa) The Mind is filled by environment- experiences/beliefsSocial Institutions- are what influences the person(STOPTHINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS)
