"The correct relationship between the terms of reality."

The stance from which Marx will start

It is fair to imagine a deep connection between the ideas that were spreadig in the universities and the birth of materialism as a point of view for the analysis of mankind relationship with reality.Feuerbach's antithetical starting point from Hegel's philosophy will be what Karl Marx will use as the base of his historical materialism as a form of SCIENTIFIC socialism.

The scientist of the soul

His work influenced deeply both literature and figurative art

The unconscious as Freud intended was a new concept, the study of dreams as a door on our most inner self, the rediscoverd importance of the sexual sphere; all this discoveries influenced artists like Italo Svevo, who wrote in a position of skepticism but was unable to ignore Freud's discoveries, or Egon Schiele, that breathing the air of change in Vienna, reached with his artistic research similar conclusions ,

"Now I am become death the destroyer of worlds"

What a scientist can be

Not only in a good way science has reached its peak of importance, as we all know humans are now capable of destroyng the Earth completely. As was shown in august 1945 when the American governement bombed the two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with two atomic bombs.

The author of "On the Origin of Species"

The essay that presented evolutionism

After 20 years of reserch and doubts Darwin in 1859 published the essay that broght light on the origin of life forms for how they are nowadays, the concequences of this conclusions impacted philosophical and artistic conceptions that were forced to a deep change in perspectives

The meaning of genius

The greatest revolution in physics

There is an apocryphal quote from lord Kelvin that sounds hilarious to us:""We don't have much left to discover in physics. It's just a matter of measuring with greater precision now." In reality in his conference in 1900 he said physics was yet done and had to explain the experiment of Michelson-Morley and photoelectric effect. Both got explained by Einstein giving birth to special relativity and quantum mechanics.

Naturalis Historia

A great term of comparison to show the importance of method

This work, published in the first century A.D., has been a source of knowledge for the following centuries and a grate example of a naturalistic and heterogeneous essay.But it is also a clear example of what a lack of method can cause with noumeros passages about inexistent creatures such as werewolfs. (The scientific method is a great way to avoid ending up being used by Rabelais to justify his nonsense)
