Course Title:
CULTURAL AND SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS
Course Number:
GS35781
Course Description:
The scientific revolution and the period after bestowed greater understanding and control over the physical world. However, these developments have also eroded classic ideas about ourselves and our place in the universe. The Earth is no longer regarded as the center of the cosmos. Evolutionary theory further diminishes the special status of humans. Materialist outlooks and some lines of biological inquiry undermine belief in free will and
spirit. Non-classical physics erodes absolute conceptions of space and time, along with the notion that there is one objective reality. These ideas have not only reshaped scholarly debate, but have entered popular culture. Science, in short, has been driving social, cultural and political changes in the global environment.
