History of science

Galileo Galilei once said, “Passion is the genesis of genius”. I think of Galileo Galilei as an example of the relationship between Culture and Personal Passion. Through his personal history, the force of his ideas and his impetus he became one of the most inspiring people for the humankind. Our current conception of the universe's order, the bases of the modern notion of nature and Jupiter's four moons are some of his discoveries, findings that by the way, continue resonating. Today, we…

has been anything I have learned throughout this semester in literally all of my classes, it is that we must learn History to keep it from repeating itself. Many critics say that there is nothing you can learn from History or that it is doomed to repeat itself. Personally, there is a choice, but it takes a lot of researching to be able to understand what needs to be altered so History does not repeat itself. I have walked through many steps of bouncing through topics, researching each one,…

significant value in the study of design history. Unfortunately, at a time when incredible value is placed on novelty and individual creativity, the narratives of the past often fall on deaf ears, written off as mere nostalgia (Hunt 2014, 1). Focusing on landscape architecture, this essay will defend the presence of history in contemporary thought and promote an active and critical engagement with the antecedents of design. It will be argued that the study of design history provides valuable…

Bach, Mozart, and Henry Fielding. Bach wrote Mass in B minor and spent his entire life in Germany. Mozart wrote many pieces and Henry Fielding was an English writer. Mozart wrote The Magic Flute.

Maslow was refuted for his ideas about psychology due to his narrow methodology, and he wanted researchers to have a broader science to study human phenomena. Being trained in experimental research, Maslow was able to identify the limitations and benefits. He knew it was almost impossible to be able mold physical science to allow love, meaning, values and spirituality in human phenomena (Raskin, 2012). The pioneers of humanistic put to motion diversity epistemological,…

The Enlightenment is defined as, the European intellectual movement of the eighteenth century using the scientific method of the New Science. The scientific revolution is one of the most important influences in the formation of the Enlightenment. There are three central concepts at the core of enlightened thinking. They are that the methods of natural science could and should be used to examine and understand all aspects of life, which is reason. The scientific method was capable of discovering…

This chapter began with the brief history of the PSC profession, which I found to be very interesting! I was unaware that the space race had encouraged PSCs to push students into science. I’m curious what the current “push” to guide students into is. In my opinion, part of my job is inspiring children to get outside so they will be good stewards of the environment. I believe scientific fields will become increasingly important as we invent new ways of living to decrease pollution and fix global…

Historians like all people, have general knowledge and understanding of all domains such as the sciences, business and politics. However, historians unlike most people use facts of general knowledge to help other people connect concepts together to create a general understanding of a topic. For this reason, historians’ present facts to people that helps them to come up with solutions to their current issues. Mostly, the historian has been an important role for centuries because they not only…

there were two things on which you could be certain: death and taxes. I would add one more to the wise Mr. Franklin's list: change. Since the beginning of recorded history, societies have experienced change. Change at one time was slow and gradual, like the carving of rock with water. However, science and the application of science-technology has made the changes happen much faster. Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1880's, we've been on a rapid ascent of technological progress.…
