English essayist Francis... «The History Book (Big Ideas Simply Explained)»
snoomrick30 мая 2024English essayist Francis Bacon insisted that scientists test their observations using reasoned argument, and French philosopher René Descartes championed the use of mathematics and logic to address scientific questions. By emphasizing the importance of human reason, such philosophers broke free from the notion that explanations of the physical world depended on Christian faith and church doctrine. This paved the way for the intellectual movement called the Enlightenment, and even for the work of later scientists such as Albert Einstein, who modified and refined Newton’s theories.
