SECTION 11; GROUP 1 (THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION)
Elizabeth Barnard
This was an era when the church began to become more open to philosophers and their ideas on science. He be lived that sensory was not what it seemed. Descartes's famous saying was "I think therefore I am". It was pronounced "Dubito Ergo Sum". He found a way to bring a way of thinking higher that what it had been before. Spinoza believed in a heliocentric world that coincided with science. Hobbs studied in political science. He felt very strongly about government. Philosophers were able to decipher validity from the old way of thinking when people were not open to new ideas. They able to show scientific proof as people began to emerge into split cultures and discovery.
Fact: What was Descartes's famous saying? "Dubito Ergo Sum"- "I think therefore I am".
Discussion: Do you think that if some of the earlier philosophers were writing in this time period would they have been ecepted by the church?
Not a single philosopher seemed to be accepted by church, unless they're philosophy supported it somehow. In the 1600s-1800s, church was still dominating most mindsets. For the Scientific Revolution, it is a fact that the church could not agree with the philosophers of this time.
