Samenvatting
Week 2
Vertical society, middle ages
- 1 God + Pope → Church
- 2 Most of the population → Peasants
-Growing crops
-Working for the landlord unpaid in return for protection
In 1400 European civilization began to come apart by three disruptions:
-the Renaissance
-Protestant reformation (16th century)
-Scientific revolution
Renaissance
-Rebirth
-Rediscovering of the Ancient Greek and Roman world → the classical era
-Religion should not control all thoughts → humanists
-Improving yourself
-Philosophy, art, knowledge
-Secularisation, people didn’t want religion interfering with politics and religion shouldn’t
control people’s lives and thoughts.
Protestant reformation(16th century)
Core message: Christianity is not Roman. An example: Catholics: to do good works as part
of the salvation process (pilgrimage, give money to the poor…) VS Protestant: You only have
to believe in Christ to be saved. The key figure in this was Martin Luther(German monk
1483-1546).
This brought a 100-year war, including the thirty-year war(1618-1648), 30% perished, in
Germany and eighty-year war in the Netherlands. Ended with the Treaty of Westphalia.
Scientific revolution (17th century)
-Greeks were wrong → we’re not the centre of the universe
-With scientific reasoning we can do everything
-Newton
