As part of an ongoing series 'A History of Western Philosophy', for four half-day courses we'll be exploring the thought of the Renaissance.
About this Event

How can empirical observation and systematic experimentation lead us to a deeper understanding of the natural world and improve human knowledge? How can mathematical reasoning and empirical evidence help us uncover the fundamental laws governing the cosmos and challenge established beliefs about the universe? In this half day course, the fourth and final in our exploration of Renaissance thought, we’ll discuss the responses of Francis Bacon and Galileo Galilei to these questions. We’ll uncover how their revolutionary ideas shaped the birth of modern thought.
