Keep this in mind as you answer the rest of the questions here. Now, call up I were to assign the following essay topic (DO NOT WRITE AN ESSAY) In the period amidst the middle of the seventeenth century and the French Revolution Europe underwent a period of transformation in terms of scientific and social thought with had far-reaching implications in legal issues as well.Examine the fix of the scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European politics, law, and society. What examples would you use from Candide book (taking into consideration the concepts we have just worked with in part I and II) to back up/illustrate your analysis of each of the following points (give one example per each). Once again, you need to consider ALL that you have learned from the cou rse materials, not just from reading this book. 1. iodin key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European society 2.One key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European politics 3. One key impact of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment on European law Now broaden out your analysis to use other documents/textbook/readings or other non-textbook materials/lectures. Give two examples for each of the three categories above 1. Scientific Revolution like Copernicuss theories about the earth and sun, which the earth is not the center of our solar system.This went against the way that churches were teaching (Before, Plato believed that Earth was the center of the universe). Also, Galileo Galilei with the discovery of telescope and the law of the pendulum, both prove that Aristole was wrong. Both of them prove that Church could be wrong in science by their scientific method and reason. In the end, people began to ask themselves tha t what if they can understand other things in life by using scientific method and reason. Started back in 1500s, people went on to use reason, experiment, and observations to develop and progress. . John Locke was a philosopher. He believed that people were able to govern themselves therefore he did not like the absolute monarch. He wanted more power for ordinary people (because everybody is born free and were right to life, liberty, and property. Later, his book had a big takings on what we think about politics and government today. Voltaire was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment. He fagged much of his life to criticize the church for freedom of religion and speech.In Voltaires idea, the best ruler would be an enlightened monarch, who studied the science of government and protected the basic rights of the people. The philosophes were concerned about social and ghostlike issues. They encouraged education as the way to end ignorance, and superstition. 3. D eism was the idea that universe was created by a higher being (God). According to deist, there are no supernatural acts, such as miracles, manifestation, messages they considered it as religious superstition.The Spirit of the Laws by Montesquieu, who argued that power of the king, came from people, not from God or Divine Right. In conclusion, the Enlightenment changed the way that people thought about science, religion, politics, and laws. We can still see those effects in our lives today.
