Intellectual Revolution 1
Instruction: After reading and watching the videos on intellectual revolutions, apply
your understanding by answering the following question concisely.
1. What is an intellectual revolution?
- Greek speculation about "nature" prior to Socrates (roughly 600 to 400
BCE) is referred to as the "Intellectual Revolution." As a result, "pre-
Socratic," "non-theological," or "first philosophy" are alternative technical
terms. Remember that the "reasoning" being referred to has close to
nothing to do with morals, and substantially more to do with our idea of
material science or rationale. The Intellectual Revolution is the time when
people's perceptions and beliefs were altered by advances in science and
technology.
