INTELLECTUAL
REVOLUTION CHAPTER 2 OBJECTIVES:
Discuss the paradigm shifts through history
explain how the intellectual revolution changed the way how humans see the world describe the technological advancements that happened in the information age. INTRODUCTION:
There has been instances when
advancements in science and technology changed people'perceptions and beliefs. Much of these events happened in a period known as INTELLECTUAL REVOLUTION. COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
A famous Philosopher and astronomer,
Claudius Ptolemy, stated that the planets as well as the sun and moon, moved in circular motion around the Earth. The sun and moon revolution explained the existence of days and nights. He believed that the Earth was at the center- a concept known as geocentrism. COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus, a
polish mathematician and astronomer, challenged the ptolemeic model. He introduced a new concept known as heliocentrism, which suggested that the center of the solar system ws not the Earth but actually the Sun. COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
After some time, astronomers realized that
the copernican model simplified the orbits of the planets. it also answered issues that could not be explained using the geocentric model. other works that supported this model started to emerge as well. It was eventually accepted by the people in a period which was called the birth of modern astronomy. DARWINIAN REVOLUTION
Was considered to be one of the most
controversial revolution of its time. In 1859, Charles Darwin, and English naturalist, biologist and geologist, published his book, On the origin of the species. In this book Darwin introduced the theory of evolution which posited that populations passed through a process of natural selection in which only the fittest survive. DARWINIAN REVOLUTION
It was only after some time that people
came to understand that Darwins theory of evolution was not infact against the teachings of the church and both can coexist. FREUDIAN REVOLUTION
In the past, the field psychology was
classified as under philosophy. Psychology was considered as more of an art rather than a science. In the late 19th century, Sigmund Freud was able to change people's perception of psychology with his revolutionary theory of psychoanalysis, study that explains behavior. FREUDIAN REVOLUTION
Freud explained that there are many
concious and uncouncious factors that can influence behavior and emotions. He also argued that personality is a product of three conflicting elements: ID, EGO, SUPEREGO. REFLECTION:
