During the Enlightenment there were loads of philosophers, mathematicians, and other thinkers that arose. Some of these thinkers included Englishmen Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes, Frenchman Renee Descartes, and of course some of the important thinkers from the Scientific Revolution such as Galileo and Kepler. All of these people can be attributed to helping the Age of Reason come forth but two thinkers that stood out to me the most would be Isaac Newton and John Locke. John Locke was an English philosopher who lived from 1632 until 1704. Locke’s ideas provided influence in the development of both Epistemology and Political Philosophy.

work was the platform for his lectures. His philosophy and wisdom were practical. “God has many names, though he is only one being” (Aristotle). He believed that there is only one God and he associated this belief through Metaphysics; the “unmoved mover”. His reasoning for this is that the universe (heavens) is constantly a moving entity and it is eternal. Since it is in constant motion this is how it communicates to all living things. This mover is unchanging in nature and it has the ability to be something else. The unmoved mover’s purpose is to move different things while unmoved and eternal. This mover created the universe (heavens) without moving. This could have happened within itself or by way of another entity. However, Aristotle believed
When a person carries out everyday tasks, performs activities of any sort, talks to people, show their actions, they are affected by the society, the surrounding they live in and are brought up in. This could only happen when either, one is trying really hard to fit into society or when one belongs to a society, the subconscious mind of a person involuntarily comes into action. So, it would also affect writing.

In this section of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, Stephen Greenblatt tells us more about the revival of ancient Roman and Greek literature by humanists like Petrarch, Salutati, Niccolo Niccoli, and Poggio who found and copied lost works. He also explains that the governance of the Roman Catholic Church was full of hypocritical and corrupt officials. It was because of this corruption and two other people’s claims to the papacy that Pope John XXIII was deposed. Two people, Jon Hus and Jerome of Prague, had decried the hypocrisy of the church which had gotten the Pope deposed and told people to believe in God not the Pope or the church. It was after this that Poggio found On the Nature of Things by Titus Lucretius Carus and started to spread his teachings. His teachings were primarily that everything was made up of atoms and therefore there was no supernatural beings or afterlife and those who say there is are deluded, which is the biggest hindrance to happiness, which for him was pleasure. I don’t personally believe very much of these teachings but they are important because they influenced much of
During the Renaissance was spreading in Europe, in 1450s a German scientist Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, which made him the most influential person of the last thousand years, who put the end of a long evolution in human communication.

For example, this invention has made America a stronger country. Other countries are threatened by us and is afraid to mess with our country. What made Albert Einstein different from all scientists, was that he was never afraid of failures. He believed that nobody can succeed without failures in their life. Albert also did not care if he wasn’t understood by the rest of the world. He knew what he wanted to do and wouldn’t let any obstacle stop him. My favorite quote is when Albert states, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” This quote states that the only reason why he got so far in life was because he was determined and passionate. He believes that anybody could make an impact in the world like he did. One fact that really spoke to me was that Albert was an extremely slow learner as a child and spoke very slowly. It is interesting that one of the smartest person in the world still had lots of obstacles when he was a kid. He never gave up and because of that quality, he has impacted the world in a great way. This fact has really influenced me because I struggle in academics and give up often, but now I will think of Albert Einstein and give all my effort in that
