The History Hour - Scientific Mind, scientific methodology, and Scientists
In this last-but-one of the History Hour episodes, host Charles Jeanes addresses the question of philosophy of mind -- the mind/body question -- in medieval and modern approaches. Medieval thinkers, being priests, were not very curious about the meaning of selfhood and self-consciousness, preferring to investigate soul and God. The sociology of medieval intelligentsia did not allow for intellectuals who were interested in consciousness, but in the Renaissance and Reformation eras (16th C) this was altered. Thinkers who were not clerical professionals of the Church began to delve into natural science. Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton, Spinoza, Locke and Hume had radically new ways of thinking. Atheism and Deism arrived on the intellectual horizons of European in the 17th C. Music by Pied Pear.
