3 Flashcards
Intellectual
- someone who is rational, logical, and wise
Intellectual Revolution
- society’s information that we
access - paradigm shift occurred
THOMAS SAMUEL KUHN
wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,
- nature of major scientific revolution
- Paradigm shift
Normal Science
- research firmly based upon one or more past scientific achievements
(Thomas Kuhn) - explanation of natural phenomena.
Revolutionary Science
- new explanation of natural phenomena
- Paradigm
o Comprehensive model of understanding
Paradigm Shift
Important change that happens, replaced by a new and different way
Scientific Revolution
-“non-cumulative, older paradigm is replaced by incompatible new one”
thomas kuhn
- Three characteristics of scientific revolution
o incompatible
o legitimate
o Transformation
THE COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
- Almagest – Hē mathēmatikē syntaxis or “The Mathematical Collection”
• Claudius Ptolemy (127 A.D. – 143 A.D.)
Geocentric Theory
- Earth in the center of the universe;
the Sun, the Moon, the stars, and the planets revolve around Earth.
• Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543)
Heliocentric theory
- Sun was stationary, and Earth revolved around it.
o Motion of bodies: uniform and circular.
o Sun is near the center.
The following revolves around the Sun:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
and Saturn; Stars are fixed in space.
o Earth has 3 motions:
daily rotation,
annual revolution,
annual tilting of its axis.
Aristarchus of Samos: pioneer of the Heliocentric theory, originally proposed the heliocentric theory
THE NEWTONIAN REVOLUTION
• Sir Isaac Newton (1643 – 1727)
“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”
(1687)
-
Normal Science

1. Law of Inertia
2. Law of Acceleration
3. Law of Interaction

THE EINSTEIN REVOLUTION
• Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)
- Annus mirabilis (miracle year) papers
➢ General and Special Theory of Relativity

o General theory
interweaves gravity
o Specific relativity
space and time are related.
o General relativity
forces of nature
➢ Photoelectric Effect
o radiation hits an object
o release of electrons.
➢ Brownian Motion
o describe by Robert Brown.
o temperature is directly proportional
➢ Mass-Energy Equivalence
o E=mc2
o relationship of mass and energy
THE CHEMICAL REVOLUTION
Alchemy
transmutation of base metals
• Robert Boyle (1667 – 1691)
- father of chemistry
- Boyle’s Law
o P1V1 = P2V2
o inversely proportional
o J-shaped tube
• Antoine-Laurent Lavosier (1743 – 1794)
- “Father of Modern Chemistry”
Phlogiston Theory
o fire-like element,
o Joseph Priestley and revolutionized by Lavosier’s idea
- oxygen is required for a combustion
- Traite elementaire de chimise or Elementary Treatise n Chemistry is Lavosier’s most outstanding work.
THE DARWINIAN REVOLUTION 🙊
Book of Genesis – The Creation.

1. Unity of life
2. Diversity of life
3. Niche between organism and environment

o discipline of biology - Theory of Evolution
o preexisting theory - Jean-Baptiste
Lamarck’s Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characters
o inherited by the offspring.
The Freudian Revolution
• Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939)
