Why the religious Europe, ruled by absolute kings, placed faith in science in the 19th century? The main intention of this essay is to explain how absolutist Europe, whose faith was principally placed in God, went through some intense transitional periods like the Age of Reason, French Revolution and the Enlightment, which stirred up the French Revolution and ended up with a massive advance in science and machinery during the Industrial Revolution. Absolutism can be simply defined as a form of government

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, there are two characters that display qualities of insanity. Specifically, Hamlet and Ophelia, although they both appear to be mad at times, their downfall (or supposed downfall) is quite different. Ophelia's madness seems complete while Hamlet's is questionable throughout the play. Hamlet's madness comes and goes; Ophelia's does not. Ophelia tells no one that she is "mad"; on the other hand, Hamlet shows everyone about his madness. Hamlet turns his madness on and off depending

The self-advertised inventive writer and

Derivative is a complex subject of calculus. In calculus, derivative is a key term developed by both Newton and Leibniz. With function f (t), the first derivative is defined asf^ ' (t)= df/dt= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-f(t-h))/h〗. There is also a second derivative known as second-order derivative. The second-order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f^ ' (t)-f^ ' (t-h))/h〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖1/h {(f(t)-f(t-h))/h- (f(t-h)-f(t-2h))/h}〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-2f(t-h)+f(t-2h))/h^2 〗 (Podlubny

Fiction, Between Inner Life and Collective Memory. A Methodological Reflection. François-Xavier Lavenne, Virginie Renard, François Tollet1 Introduction In the writing of their fictional works, novelists often have to reflect on the functioning of memory, for memory lies at the heart both of inner life and of human experience in general.

The Enclosure movement and the British Agricultural Revolution made food production more efficient and less labor-intensive, forcing the surplus population who could no longer find

Constructivist theory Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. He suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences. When individuals assimilate, they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework. This may occur when individuals' experiences are aligned
