5 The First Scientists - INB 173 come pick up the handout from the make-up work box The people of ancient civilizations developed science to solve problems. They used mathematics to keep records. People who studied the movement of the stars developed astronomy. This science helped people keep time and decide when to plant crops. The ancient Greeks developed a large amount of scientific information. They believed that reason was a way to analyze nature. Their studies helped them develop theories. A theory is an explanation for how or why something happens. Theories are based on what people can observe about a thing or event. A theory may be incorrect, but it seems to explain the facts. The ancient Greeks and Romans made many scientific advances. The Greek philosopher Aristotle, for example, gathered facts about plants and animals. He then classified living things by arranging them into groups based on their similarities and differences. However, classical thinkers did not conduct scientific experiments. That means they did not test new ideas to find out whether they were true. Instead, they based their conclusions on "common sense," which led to many false beliefs. For instance, during Roman times, the Egyptian-born astronomer Ptolemy stated that the sun and the planets moved around the Earth. His geocentric, or Earth-centered, theory was accepted in Europe for more than 1,400 years.

6 Medieval Science During the Middle Ages, most Europeans were interested in religious ideas. Few people were interested in studying nature. Their ideas about science were based mostly on ancient classical writings. They did not think it was necessary to research the facts and draw their own conclusions. Many of the classical writings were poorly preserved. As people wrote out copies of the old texts, they sometimes made errors that changed the information. At the same time, Arabs and Jews in the Islamic empire preserved Greek and Roman science. They copied many Greek and Roman works into Arabic. They also came into contact with the Indian system of numbers that is used today. This system of numbers is now called Indian-Arabic. Arab and Jewish scientists made their own advances in mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Even with these achievements, scientists in the Islamic world did not conduct experiments. During the 12th and 13th centuries, European thinkers began to have more contact with Islamic peoples due to increased trade and the Crusades. As a result, they gained a renewed interest in science. Europeans began to read copies of Islamic works in Latin. After the Indian-Arabic system of numbers reached Europe, people adopted it in place of Roman numerals. Thomas Aquinas and other Christian thinkers showed that Christianity and reason could work together. Also, Europeans began building new universities. In these schools, teachers and students helped the growth of science. Beginning in the 1400s, voyages of exploration added to scientific knowledge in Europe. Europeans began to create better charts and maps. These tools helped explorers reach different parts of the world. As more of the world was explored, people learned new information about the size of oceans and continents. Scientists gathered data about diseases, animals, and plants and organized the new information.

10 The Scientific Revolution INB 175 come pick up the handout from the make-up work box In the 1500s, Europeans began to think differently about science. They began to realize that scientists had to use mathematics and experiments to make advances. This new way of thinking led to the Scientific Revolution. This revolution changed how Europeans understood science and how they searched for knowledge. The Scientific Revolution first affected astronomy, the science that studies the planets and stars of the universe. New discoveries in this field began to change European thinking about the universe. They challenged the traditional idea that God had made the Earth as the center of the universe.

11 Copernicus & Ptolemy Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer. In 1491, he began his career at a university in Poland. A year later, Columbus reached the Americas. Like Columbus, Copernicus challenged old beliefs held by Europeans. In 1543, Copernicus wrote a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. He disagreed with Ptolemy's theory that the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus developed a heliocentric, or sun-centered, theory of the universe. Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the universe. Earth and the other planets followed a circular path around the sun. Copernicus's theory disagreed with church teachings. As a result, publication of his book was delayed. He reportedly did not receive the first copy until he was dying.

12 Kepler s Ideas About Planets A German astronomer named Johannes Kepler made more advances. He used mathematics to support Copernicus's theory that the planets revolve around the sun. His findings also made corrections to the theory. Kepler added the idea that the planets move in oval paths called ellipses instead of the circular paths in Copernicus's theory. Also, Kepler stated that planets do not always travel at the same speed. Instead, they move faster as they approach the sun and slower as they move away from it. Kepler's theory provided a simpler explanation for the movements of the planets. In addition, it marked the beginning of modern astronomy.

13 Galileo Galilei An Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei made the next great discovery in the Scientific Revolution. He believed that conducting experiments was the correct way to achieve new scientific knowledge. His studies caused him to disagree with some long-held ideas. For example, Aristotle had thought that heavy objects fall to the ground faster than objects that weigh less. Galileo's experiments proved that was not correct. Objects fall at the same speed no matter what they weigh. Galileo also believed that scientific instruments could help people better explore the natural world. He heard about an early telescope and designed one of his own. With the telescope, Galileo found evidence that supported Copernicus's theory that Earth revolves around the sun. Galileo also improved the making of clocks. One day, Galileo was watching an overhead lamp swing back and forth from a cathedral ceiling. He timed each swing and discovered that all of the swings took the same amount of time. Galileo used this idea to make a clock that had a swinging pendulum. The pendulum made the clock more accurate. Galileo also developed new scientific instruments. In 1593, he invented a water thermometer. People could now measure changes in temperature. An assistant of Galileo then built the first barometer, an instrument that measures air pressure.

14 Newton's Universe Isaac Newton was an English mathematician. According to tradition, Newton was sitting in his garden one day when he saw an apple fall to the ground. The apple's fall led him to the idea of gravity. Gravity is the pull of the Earth or other bodies in space on objects that are on or near them. In 1687, Newton published a book called Principia Mathematica. This was one of the most important books in the history of modern science. In Principia, Newton gave his laws, or well-tested theories, about the motion of objects on Earth and in space. The most important was the law of gravitation. It states that the force of gravity holds the solar system together. It does this by keeping the sun and the planets in their orbits. Newton's ideas greatly influenced the thinking of other scientists.

25 Document 2: Source: Galileo Galilei, Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina (1615) This is an excerpt from a letter written by Galileo Galilei defending his approach to science. Some years ago, as Your Serene Highness well knows, I discovered in the heavens many things that had not been seen before our own age. The newness of these things, as well as some consequences which followed from them that contradicted ideas commonly held among academic philosophers, stirred up against me no small number of professors... Showing a greater fondness for their own opinions than for truth, they sought to deny and disprove the new things... To this end they hurled various charges and published numerous writings filled with inaccurate arguments, and they made the grave mistake of sprinkling these with passages taken from places in the Bible which they had failed to understand properly, and which were poorly chosen to support their argument.

32 Classwork The Enlightenment INB 181 Set up the chart you see below and use textbook pages to help you Background: Thomas Hobbes John Locke

33 What was the Enlightenment? During the 1700s, European thinkers were impressed by advances in science. They believed that reason could discover the scientific laws that shaped human behavior. Once these laws were understood, thinkers believed, people could use the laws to improve society. The Scientific Revolution stressed the use of reason to solve problems. Before this period, people often relied on faith or tradition as guides. However, in the 1700s, many educated Europeans began to break away from tradition. They viewed reason as a "light" that uncovered error and showed the path to truth. As a result, the 1700s became known as the Age of Enlightenment. During the Enlightenment, political thinkers tried to use reason to improve government. They claimed that there was a natural law, or a law that applied to everyone and could be understood by reason. This natural law was the key to making government work properly. As early as the 1600s, two English thinkers used natural law to develop very different ideas about government. The two men were Thomas Hobbes and John Locke.

34 Who was Thomas Hobbes? Thomas Hobbes English writer Thomas Hobbes wrote about England's government and society. At the time, England was torn apart by conflict. King Charles I wanted absolute power. Parliament, however, demanded a greater role in governing. The king's supporters fought those who supported Parliament. Parliament already had some control over the king. In the 1620s, Parliament had forced Charles to sign the Petition of Right. It said the king could not tax the people without Parliament's approval. Also, he could not imprison anyone without a just reason. The Petition also stated that the king could not declare a state of emergency unless the country was at war. Charles, however, ignored the Petition. His differences with Parliament led to civil war. The fighting finally forced Parliament's supporters to execute Charles. This event shocked Thomas Hobbes, who supported the monarchy.

35 Leviathan = 1. A large sea monster 2. Something that is very large or powerful

36 Hobbes Beliefs In 1651, Hobbes wrote a book called Leviathan. In this work, Hobbes argued that natural law made absolute monarchy the best form of government. According to Hobbes, humans were naturally violent and selfish. They could not be trusted to make wise decisions on their own. Left to themselves, people would make life "nasty, brutish, and short." Therefore, Hobbes said, people needed to obey a government that had the power of a leviathan, or sea monster. To Hobbes, this meant the rule of a powerful king, because only a strong ruler could give people direction. Under this ruler, people had to remain loyal. This political theory of Hobbes became known as absolutism, since it supported a ruler with absolute, or total, power.

37 John Locke & The Glorious Revolution Another English thinker, John Locke, believed differently. He used natural law to support citizens' rights. He said the government had to answer to the people. During Locke's life, another English king, James II, wanted to be a strong ruler. Parliament again was opposed to the king's wishes. When civil war threatened in 1688, James fled the country. Parliament then asked Mary, the king's daughter, and her husband, William, to take the throne. This event became known as the "Glorious Revolution." The Glorious Revolution eventually turned England into a constitutional monarchy. This is a form of government in which written laws limit the powers of the monarch. In return for the English throne, William and Mary agreed to a Bill of Rights. This document required William and Mary to obey Parliament's laws. The Bill of Rights also guaranteed all English people basic rights. For example, people had the right to a fair trial by jury and the right to freedom from cruel punishment for a crime. John Locke

38 John Locke s Beliefs In 1690, John Locke wrote a book called Two Treatises of Government. His book explained many of the ideas of the Glorious Revolution. Locke stated that government should be based on natural law and natural rights. These rights included the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to own property. Locke believed that the purpose of government was to protect people's rights. He said that all governments were based on a social contract. This is an agreement between the people and their leaders. If rulers took away people's natural rights, the people had a right to rebel and set up a new government.

44 Reading 1: Thomas Hobbes Leviathan 1651 So that in the nature of man, we find three principal [main] causes of quarrel [fighting]. First, competition; second, diffidence [being timid or meek]; thirdly, glory. The first maketh men invade for gain; the second, for safety; and the third, for reputation. The first use violence to make themselves masters of other men s persons, wives, children, and cattle; the second, to defend them; the third, for trifles [things of little value], as a word, a smile, a different opinion, and any other sign.... Hereby it is made clear that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

45 Reading Two: The Second Treatise of Govt The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of any man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule. The liberty of man in society is to be under no other legislative power but that established by consent in the government... Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society and made by the legislative power created in it, a liberty to follow my own will in all things where the rule does not prevent me from doing so, and not to be subject to the... will of another man; as freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of nature.

48 Montesquieu and Government After the Glorious Revolution, many thinkers in France admired the government of England. They liked it better than the absolute monarchy that ruled France. In 1748, a French thinker, Baron Montesquieu, published a book called The Spirit of the Laws. In this book, Montesquieu stated that England had the best government. He liked English government because it had a separation of powers. Separation of powers means that power should be equally divided among the branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch makes the laws. The executive branch enforces the laws. The judicial branch interprets the laws and makes judgments when the laws are broken. By separating these powers, government could not become too powerful and threaten people's rights. As Montesquieu explained in the case of judges: "Again, there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers. Were it joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary [unreasonable] control, for the judge would be then the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with all the violence of an oppressor [cruel dictator]." from The Spirit of the Laws, 1748 Montesquieu believed in the rights of individuals. His work influenced the writing of the constitutions of many countries, including the United States Constitution.

50 Essential Questions (HINT! these questions will form your closure) What does the French thinker Baron de Montesquieu think about what makes the best form of government? Do you think he agrees more with Thomas Hobbes or John Locke?

51 Charles, Baron De Montesquieu, the Spirit of the Laws (1748) CHAPTER 6. Of the Constitution of England In every government there are three types of power: the legislative; the executive, in respect to things dependent on the law of nations; and the judiciary, in regard to matters that depend on the civil law. By virtue of the first, the prince, or magistrate enacts temporary or perpetual laws, and amends or repeals those that have been already enacted. By the second, he makes peace or war, sends or receives embassies, establishes the public security, and provides against invasions. By the third, he punishes criminals, or determines the disputes that arise between individuals. The latter we shall call the judiciary power, and the other simply the executive power of the state. The political liberty (freedom) of the subject (person living under a ruler) is a peacefulness of mind that comes from the opinion each person has of his safety. In order to have this liberty, it is required that the government be so made as one man need not be afraid of another. When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because worries may arise, because the same monarch or senate could enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner. Again, there is no liberty, if the judiciary power be not separated from the legislative and executive. Were it joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control; for the judge would be then the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with violence and oppression. There would be an end of everything, were the same man, or the same body, whether of the nobles or of the people, to exercise those three powers, that of enacting laws, that of executing the public resolutions, and of trying the causes of individuals.

62 The Age of Exploration

63 Mercantilism Spain and Portugal took advantage of the gold and silver they gained from their empires. Other European countries wanted to do the same. This led to the theory of mercantilism. The key idea of mercantilism is that a country's power depends on its wealth. Countries can increase their wealth by owning more gold and silver. What is the best way for a country to get more gold and silver? According to mercantilism, a country must export, or sell to other countries, more goods than it imports, or buys from other countries. According to mercantilism, countries should establish colonies. A colony is a settlement of people living in a territory controlled by their home country. Colonists provide raw materials that are not found or made in the home country. These materials are then shipped to the home country. In the home country, the raw materials are used to manufacture goods so that the home country does not have to buy these goods from other countries.

64 Mercantilism Continued Europeans established trading posts and colonies in Asia and North America. By the end of the 1500s, Spain had a colony in the Philippines. In the 1600s, English and French merchants arrived in India. They began trading with the people there. In 1619, the Dutch built a fort on the island of Java, in what is now Indonesia. The Dutch became so powerful that they pushed the Portuguese out of the spice trade. Guns and powerful ships helped Europeans defeat Arab fleets and Indian armies. Across Asia, Europeans forced local rulers to open their lands to trade. The arrival of the Europeans in Japan caused a dramatic change in that society. A new Japanese shogun used European-made guns and cannons to dominate his enemies. He was finally able to defeat the feudal lords and the daimyo and reunite Japan.

65 Creating Joint-Stock Companies Europeans found that paying for overseas trading voyages was expensive. In the 1600s, however, Europeans developed new business methods. Historians call this the Commercial Revolution. Commerce is the buying and selling of goods in large amounts over long distances. This type of commerce needed large amounts of money in order to be profitable. So, a new type of businessperson called an entrepreneur emerged. Entrepreneurs invest, or put money into a project. Their goal is to make money from the success of the project. As overseas trade increased in the 1600s, many projects were too large for one entrepreneur to pay for. If a voyage failed, for example, that individual would lose everything. As a result, groups of entrepreneurs began to form joint-stock companies. A joint-stock company is a business in which many people can invest. Groups or individuals, called investors, buy shares in the company. These shares are called stocks. By owning stock, investors would share the expenses, the risks and the profits.

66 Cottage Industries By the 1600s, merchants began to believe that artisans and guilds charged too much for their goods. In addition, the merchants thought that these skilled workers did not make goods fast enough. To solve these problems, merchants began hiring peasants to make goods, especially wool cloth in their homes. This system became known as the cottage industry because the small houses where peasants lived and worked were called cottages.
