    The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were similar in so many ways that it's easy to confound the two movements. In this lecture, I use a graphic organizer to go over the similarities and differences between the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, noting how the Scientific Revolution influenced the Enlightenment and how the Enlightenment expanded the scope by applying scientific principles to the organization of society.

    "The Enlightenment is basically the Scientific Revolution on Crack" ~ Tom Richey

    I have an exam in European history in 7 hours... You'd think by my junior year of college I would've learned better than to leave things till the last minute! But thanks for making last-minute cramming more enjoyable!

    Although I don't recall where I read it (I think it was in a biography of Bacon), I do remember that his experiments with snow were allegedly early attempts to understand how cold temperatures help preserve meat.

    Watch a lot of your videos, very informative and concise. However, a seminar leader at my university told us about Francis Bacon and the chicken in snow, but far from having "no practical purpose" she said it lead to the discovery of refrigeration. The story goes that he was trying to prove that meat could be preserved if frozen, which we know now to be true.

    i dont really understand the difference between the renaissance and the enlightenment - was the renaissance focused more on art, and the enlightenment focused more on bringing education to the public? do both the renaissance and the enlightenment challenge the church's authority?

    You sir, using scientific principals have enlightened us to challenge authority and reform our society if we could just agree on what needs to be reformed. Perhaps Newton would be kind enough to give us an equation on reformation and then have Voltaire explain it to us in empirical terms. Seriously, a great learning video as usual. Thank you.

  • @TheManInRoomFive

    Is there a specific argument for leaving Locke out of the Enlightenment?

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  8 лет назад +1

      +TheManInRoomFive Locke was a 17th century philosopher, so chronologically, he does not fit the bill. Like Newton, Locke was an influencer of the Enlightenment because his ideas were employed and expanded upon by many Enlightenment writers.

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  8 лет назад +1

      +Tom Richey Looking through some stuff trying to figure out how I will explain his role. Many writers are referring to Locke as "early Enlightenment" or "Father of the Enlightenment." Basically, a guy who is writing a lot of the stuff we'll see in the next century a bit before his time. I'd say Locke and Newton were the most influential philosophers on those who came later.

    • @TheManInRoomFive
      @TheManInRoomFive 8 лет назад +2

      +Tom Richey Although Locke is mostly 17th century (died in the early 18th), I would argue that he mostly fits right into your 28 year gap. I get how you would argue that Locke laid the foundation for later liberal and democratic writers, but his major work (Two treatise of Government) from 1689 addresses the very core at which you touch: How social systems claim authority. His writings on how tradition, and claims of divine right are both wrong and illegitimate, which to me makes him a man of the enlightenment, by reforming society to adhere to reason.

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  8 лет назад +1

      Thanks for offering your insights. I am preparing to record a series of lectures on the Enlightenment and this will help me in the first lecture, where I'm going to focus on Newton and Locke. It's always great when informed members of my audience chime in and offer good discussion that helps me improve my lectures!

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  8 лет назад +2

      One last point I'd make is that Locke was not a critic of Christianity, but attempted to defend it. This does not disqualify him from being part of the Enlightenment but does place him in a camp alongside Descartes, Pascal, and Bacon more than Voltaire, Diderot, and Hume.
