2. What is Intellectual Revolution about? The intellectual revolution of the last five centuries transformed the Human Race from one that believed in superstition and magic to one basing their entire existence on the fruits of logic and scientific research.

3. Who are the key figures of revolution? The key figures in the global intellectual revolution were Francis Bacon (ca. 1250) — articulated the experimental method. was an English philosopher of science (considered the father of the scientific method) and essayist, sometimes credited as being the first in the tradition of British empiricism and thus the father of empiricism. Empiricism is the philosophical view that holds that all knowledge must come through sensory experience.

4. 2.Rene Descartes (ca. 1650) — developed Analytical Geometry 3. Gottfried Leibniz (ca. 1690) — developed Calculus 4. Georg Hegel (ca. 1830) — nobody has yet caught up with Hegel — worldwide.

5. How did the revolution advance modern science and scientific thinking The scientific revolution was characterized by an emphasis on abstract reasoning, quantitative thought, an understanding of how nature works, the view of nature as a machine, and the development of an experimental scientific method.

6. Abstract Reasoning: Scientists began to use abstract reasoning to understand natural phenomena, moving away from purely observational methods. Quantitative Thought: There was a shift towards quantitative analysis, emphasizing measurements and mathematical calculations. Understanding Nature: The focus was on understanding the underlying principles of how nature works, rather than just describing it.

7. Nature as a Machine: Nature was increasingly viewed as a machine that operates according to fixed laws, a significant departure from earlier views of nature as an organism. Experimental Scientific Method: The development of the experimental method was crucial. Scientists conducted experiments to test hypotheses and gather empirical evidence

8. What controversies met the revolution? The information revolution has been claimed to exacerbate inequalities in society, such as racial, class and gender inequalities, and to create a new, digital divide, in which those that have the skills and opportunities to use information technology effectively reap the benefits while others are left behind .
