john Locke's ideas were met with a mix of acceptance and resistance during his time in the late 17th century. While his theories on government, particularly the concepts of natural rights and the social contract, gained traction among Enlightenment thinkers and influenced emerging democratic movements, they also faced opposition from traditionalists and supporters of absolute monarchy. His works, particularly "Two Treatises of Government," were pivotal in shaping political philosophy, but their radical implications took time to resonate widely. Ultimately, Locke's ideas laid the groundwork for modern liberal democracy and were instrumental in the development of Enlightenment thought.
During Aristotle's time, the public generally responded positively to his ideas, as he was a respected philosopher and teacher. His teachings were influential and widely accepted, leading to his ideas being incorporated into various aspects of society, including politics, ethics, and natural sciences.
John Cabot, the Venetian explorer, was likely born in Venice, Italy, around 1450. Specific details about the hospital or exact location of his birth are not well-documented, as records from that time are scarce. As a result, the exact birthplace remains uncertain, but it is generally accepted that he came from Venice.

John Locke was significantly influenced by the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and empirical observation, as well as the political turmoil of his time, particularly the English Civil War, which shaped his views on government, individual rights, and the social contract. Montesquieu, on the other hand, drew inspiration from the diversity of political systems he observed in Europe and the historical context of absolutism; his ideas on separation of powers were influenced by his desire to prevent tyranny and promote liberty. Both philosophers were also impacted by the classical ideas of ancient Greece and Rome, particularly regarding governance and human nature.

Yes it was accepted at that time
Yes, J.J. Thomson's ideas on the existence of negatively charged particles (electrons) were accepted by the scientific community at the time. His discovery of the electron through cathode ray experiments in the late 19th century revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure and won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906.
In science, ideas that are tested through repeated experiments and observations, and are supported by evidence and data, are generally accepted. These ideas are subject to peer review and can be replicated by other scientists.
Democritus's beliefs were not widely accepted by society during his time. His theory of atoms was overshadowed by the dominant philosophical views of the time. It was not until much later that his ideas gained more recognition and acceptance.
Nicolaus Copernicus's scientific ideas regarding the universe and specifically the idea of heliocentrism were at odds with the generally accepted ideas of his time. It was difficult for people to accept these new ideas, made even more difficult by the Catholic Church's powerful opposition to them for some time.
They were accepted once and at once. They are not accepted now, at least most of his ideas. Freuds ideas, as many ideas in psychology of that day and today, are not supported by evidence but are, seemingly, pulled out of thin air.
Yes because he publicised his ideas well. He knew people in journals, wrote a lot and spoke to lots of people to persuade him of his ideas.
Antoine Lavoisier's beliefs were not fully accepted in his time period, as his work challenged traditional views on chemical reactions and the nature of elements. However, his meticulous experiments and rigorous approach laid the foundation for modern chemistry and his ideas were eventually widely accepted after his death.
During Aristotle's time, the public generally responded positively to his ideas, as he was a respected philosopher and teacher. His teachings were influential and widely accepted, leading to his ideas being incorporated into various aspects of society, including politics, ethics, and natural sciences.
Wegener's ideas were not immediately accepted because he lacked a mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, his theory challenged long-standing geological beliefs and there was not enough evidence at the time to support his hypothesis of continental drift. It was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that Wegener's ideas gained widespread acceptance.
"You must follow me carefully, I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted." - H.G. Wells The Time Machine
Actually Darwin's theories and evidence were almost immediately accepted by the scientific community. His dissertations met with great success and very little resistance. Most of those who did resist had theological underpinnings for their belief that species were immutable and could not change over time. And it was for that same reason (ie. religion) that Darwin's discoveries were not accepted by the general public and that the teaching of biological evolution, though a demonstrable and extraordinarily well understood fact of nature, meets with resistance even to this day.
