Start of the instruction

Find me a picture of (one of the) oldest universities of Europe. Mention place and year in your answer.

In the Netherlands:

The University of Leiden 

Founded by William of Orange 

In 1575

Due to the Spanish controlling Leuven (nearest university), it was impossible for students from northern provinces to attent the university.

Keywords:

1. Rationalism
2. Empirical thinking
3. Scientific revolution
4. Heliocentrism
5. Geocentrism

1. Rationalism

Ratio = think

A way of doing research based on reasoning and logic.

2. Empirical thinking

Developed by the 17th century.

Doing research by observing and experimenting.

3. Scientific Revolution

The 'new' idea of empirical thinking unleashed the scientific revolution. 

This led to new ideas such as..

Heliocentrism vs. geocentrism

Improvements to the telescope 

Proved that the earth revolved around sun (heliocentrism)

Shocking because most people believed the Biblical version (sun revolving the earth = geocentrism)
