Description:

-Re-discovery of the works of the ancient greeks
- Re- emergence of an intellectual attitude
(trying to understand the world is a worthwhile pursuit)

through observation of the world
(Isaac Newton gravity)
-A false but dominating assumption
that no regularities can be observed
in the mind since the mind is
inherently unpredictable (free will)
