SUMMARY:“David Rittenhouse”\, President of American Philosophical Society\, presents Big Science of the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:We are all familiar with the impact of Enlightenment thinking on the politics of the American Revolutions. Overtures or Locke and Rousseau are found in debates leading to the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers debating the Constitution. Thomas Pane forcefully renounces the ideas of hereditary rule (Common Sense) and Patrick Henry literally screams for the ideals of the Enlightenment from his Virginia Statehouse lectern. America was founded on a platform of refutation of Establishment and support of traditional political power. At the same time\, and for many of the same reasons\, there is a global revolution in scientific thought during the 18th Century. Long held beliefs about how the world works\, its origins\, and the nature of natural philosophy were being challenged.
