Enlightened age

Yet it was these same men who pursued geometry and astronomy with such success. Greece was indebted to them for the first principles of these sciences, some of which they discovered for themselves and some of which they introduced from the East, but introduced them not just as accepted opinion but as theories whose principles and proofs they had mastered. Out of the obscurity of these systems two felicitous ideas shine forth, ideas which will appear again in more enlightened ages. 

However applicable in Theory the doctrine may be to a Constitution, it seems liable in practice to some very powerful objections. Would not a Government so often revised become too mutable to retain those prejudices in its favor which antiquity inspires, and which are perhaps a salutary aid to the most rational Government in the most enlightened age. Would not such a periodical revision engender pernicious factions that might not otherwise come into existence. Would not, in fine, a Government depending for its existence beyond a fixed date, on some positive and authentic inter-... 

For all likely operating conditions, (ie., for t < X), the appropriate values of the concentration and the polymerization rate constant are the values calculated at t = t ( 2). To prove this, the exit age distribution function for a backmix reactor was used to weight the functions for Cg and kj and the product was integrated over all exit ages (6). It is enlightening at this point to compare equation 18 with one that describes the yield attainable in a typical laboratory semibatch reactor at comparable conditions. ...

You hear these words Time and again the Way-Showers to the path of enlightenment come. In every age and clime, to all peoples, these manifestations of Redemption appear. Yea, and in every life too. For ultimately, That which redeems and that which is redeemed are one—and this realization is the redemption itself. You turn to see the dark-veiled queen moving from behind you to her chair in the stern. 

A near contemporary, the rabidly brilliant Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle, took Barberi s question a step further by asking, in 1833, how all this could have been achieved by a man devoid of looks, charm, or intellect. Carlyle blamed Cagliostro s success on the eighteenth century itself, which was not, he said, an age of reason and enlightenment, as is usually claimed, but an age of fraud and superstition. 

In the Age of Enlightenment and absolutism, psychiatry developed in different directions in the different European countries depending on local political and social circumstances (see Schrenk, 1973 Domer, 1975 Foucault, 1978). The essential features of this development, which occurred in all countries sooner or later, are ... 

The history of human mathematical computations goes back for several millenia. The need for numerical computations has increased since the age of enlightenment and the industrial revolution three centuries ago. For the last 50 years, the human race has become more and more dependent on numerical computations and digital computers. Computational techniques have developed from early hand computations, through table look up, mechanical adding and multiplying devices, the slide rule etc, to programmable electronic computers, mainframes, PCs, laptops, and notebooks. 

Although chemistry has been important for millennia in its practical application to the needs and luxuries of human life, the discipline has not always been called chemistry. It has existed in very different forms, and in very different relations to neighboring sciences and crafts, in a flux that only accelerated as the years passed. The goals and concepts of a Chinese or Arabic alchemist of antiquity or the Middle Ages differed greatly from those of a chemist of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, just as the aims and ideas of nineteenth-century research chemists were different from those of their predecessors and successors.
