Social Sciences
Hi, what's up? It's Lucía. Today it's my turn to do the journal. So, let's review the lesson :)
At the beginning of the class, we've reviewed what we did on Monday.
That's Enlightenment and his features, in 18th century (century of lights):
?They used the Reason to learn and understand the world and improve it. Philosophers said that they wanted to "Eliminate the darkness of the world with the lights of reason". So they rejected all that couldn't been explained (superstitions, traditions, revelations, miracles...)
? They were tolerant of religions. No religion was superior to another. But they thought that religions gave more problems than positive things.? They rejected the authority principle, this means not to do things that always have been done only because it was traditional or someone ordered it.? They considered education the most important thing.? They criticized absolute monarchies and defended freedom of all the human beings.? They considered knowledge as the basis of happiness and they were very optimistic.
After that, the class has started straying. We have started to speak about Spain and the similarities between the present/current world and the Enlightenment. We think that education should be free or cheaper, like in France or Denmark, and make the economy a little easier. You can change a kilo of potatoes for a kilo of tomatoes, or maybe another person can repair your piping. in exchange forpainting his house. I don't know, we can do many things better but no one tries to do it. Maybe the way is to pay more taxes (but not stupid taxes), like Paqui hassaid hahaha.
And at the end, Paqui has started explaining the Encyclopedia.Before Enlightenment, books which contradicted Dogma were forbidden because the Church thought they were dangerous. Knowledge "was dangerous". But in 18th century, Denis Diderot and Jean Rond D'Alembert issued the first Encyclopedia in France in 1751 with 35 volumes, asking philosophers and scientists for advice.
