Not only did it popularize the scientific movement, but it also popularized religion, free thinking, and the betterment of society through knowledge, science, and inventions.
The Enlightenment did more than just popularize the Scientific Revolution; it also promoted new ideas about individual rights, reason, and democracy. It challenged traditional authority and beliefs, leading to significant social and political changes across Europe and eventually influencing movements for independence and freedom around the world.
Plato refers to the human body as a "coffin of the soul" to emphasize his belief that the soul is immortal and the body is merely a temporary vessel. He suggests that the body restricts the soul's true potential and knowledge, acting as a barrier to the pursuit of philosophical wisdom and enlightenment. By viewing the body in this way, Plato underscores the importance of looking beyond physical desires and pleasures to focus on the eternal and transcendent nature of the soul.
The philosopher's stone is significant in alchemy because it was believed to have the power to transmute base metals into gold and grant immortality. It symbolized spiritual enlightenment and the ultimate goal of alchemical pursuit. Its creation represented the mastery of the alchemical processes and transformation of the alchemist themselves.
The world is a stage, and we are all merely players.
Men of the Age of Reason tended to see the order of the world more through the lens of science rather than religion. They valued reason, rationality, and empirical evidence over religious doctrine in their quest to understand the natural world. This led to advancements in fields such as physics, astronomy, and biology that challenged traditional religious beliefs.
Socrates does not talk about the alternative sentence "I am merely another reptile".
He didn't create the scientific method. He merely improved it greatly with his knowledge. :)
scientific laws are never destoryed merely build on as new information and research comes about.
Anyone who said it (and a few have) was merely paraphrasing the great 1970s song by Gil Scott-Heron "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".
There is only one type of platypus. Ornithorhynchus Anatinus is merely its scientific name.
Nothing is measured in scientific notation. Scientific notation is used merely to represent the result of some measurement - especially when that outcome is a very small or a very large number.
The British did not surrender. They merely withdrew because the war was not cost-effective. They had other priorities with colonies such as India who were giving them problems.
A scientific "abstract" is merely a summary of the study conducted while "explorative strategy" is a method used in scientific study. Whether or not this strategy is used the definition of "abstract" in the scientific sense remains the same. See examples of abstracts for explorative strategy studies at links below.
Merely is an adverb, yes.Some example sentences are:I am merely just browsing.He is merely trying to help.
It was a massive change in the way business and life was done. It wasn't people shooting at each other. Another answer: How do you define Revolution? When the United States took its first census 90% of the population lived on farms. Now 2% of the population lives on farms. The industrial revolution made that change possible. It did not happen overnight. My great great grandfather had 24 grandchildren raised of farms. One now lives on a farm. The Industrial Revolution enabled the rest to leave farms and move to cities. Their children did not run free through the fields. They did not jump on a horse and ride. Instead, they lived in a small house close to their neighbors. Their total way of life changed. They lived under the same government and under the same laws. It was not a political revolution. It was not merely a change. It was a social revolution.
Merely means just or only.I merely wanted to buy a cookie. It was merely a joke.
The John Brown raid. It seemed to identify abolitionism with violent revolution.
No. Evolution is based on empirical, scientific data. It is in no way a merely social philosophical construct. The conjecture was founded upon hard physical evidence, and was built into a solid, robust theory, which now forms the foundation tying all the biological sciences together into one unified whole. Evolution underpins biology the way the plate tectonics underlies geology.
