Modernism

Slide: 1
Think of it as the ultimate intellectual rebellion, Western thinkers were angry and dissatisfied, which actually gave birth to modernism
I don't get why people back in 17th and 18th centuries were so mad at how society was run?
Slide: 2
Nope, they wanted a complete system update! Modernism is a stream of thought that strives to replace all traditionalist thinking so it actually fits our "modern" situation
So they were just complaining about the good old days?
Slide: 3
Exactly! it was a massive movement of resistance to religion. It was born out of the ideology of secularism that started back in the Rennaisance
"Out with the old, in with the new", does this mean getting rid of old religion rules too?
Slide: 4
But if they ain't relying on tradition or religion for answers, what did they rely on then?
They started using emerging methods of modern knowledge: rational, empirical, scientific, and logical thinking
Slide: 5
So basically replacing "as the king said so" with "because the science said proves it" ?
You got it! they realized that scientific and logical methods were way more appropriate for modern life than blindly following the past
Slide: 6
Honestly, an 18th century science and logic rebellion sounds like it would make a pretty great movie
Right? modernism was basically history's way of hitting "refresh button" out of human knowledge
