Emergence Of A Modern & Autonomous Human Being | Report_1

1IDEAS AND IDENTITYIn the given topic, it can be seen that the author has argued about the foundations ofmodern world view. In the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, there was an emergence ofmodern and autonomous human being who was conscious about his own self. This specialcreature was curious about the world and confident about his own judgments1. The author hadalso mentioned about the skeptical of orthodoxies and the rebellious nature against the authorityis liable for his own idea and actions. They are more committed to a bigger future and proud oftheir own self. They are also conscious of their distinctness from nature and very much aware oftheir artistic and creative power. This arrival of the modern mind as deep rooted in the rebellionagainst the traditional authorities took hold of the three distinct forms- the Renaissance, theReformation and the Scientific Revolution. Arrival of these three forms gave rise to the culturalhegemony of the Catholic Church2. On the contrary, no monolithic structure of belief held any civilization or science asthe mankind’s empirical and rational liberation which appeals to the common sense and astrong reality that can be touched and weighed by them. The verifiable theories that aretexted and discussed in this topic replaced the dogmatic revelation hierarchy that was implied bythe church. The straight and valid data of the natural senses, the theoretical and systematicmethods of the age old belief of the rising and setting of the sun and rotation of the earth waslater analyzed through reasoning, calculation and other technologically advanced observation.There is certain invalidity in the points raised by the author of this book. The process wasnow open and established a new form in the society. Not only the earth but also the humanare now moving out of the finite, infinite, static, hierarchical universe in to new andunknown territories. 1 Tarnas, Richard.
