The impact of Empiricism on society is the incidental beginnings of the science of psychology. It also contributed to the learning of the human mind. Empiricism helped in the continued study of human thought, understanding and perception of ideas, and the development of knowledge.

<span>Empiricism's impact on society was that scientific knowledge (learned from observation and experience) came to be seen as more reliable and true than any other type of knowledge -- including religious knowledge. </span>

<span>
Men like Francis Bacon and other figures of the Scientific Revolution (such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton) were all quite religious men. Bacon wrote a treatise against atheism. In his book on<em> Optics</em>, Isaac Newton argued that the way light and vision work demonstrates the wisdom of a divine Creator. But over time, empirical science came to challenge and conflict with religious authority more and more. Galileo's treatment by the Roman Inquisition is an example of that. Enlightenment era thinkers came to trust science-based knowledge ahead of anything church authorities might say. </span>

<span>An example of how this impacted society can be seen in the strange case of Mary Toft, a woman in England who, in 1726, claimed to be giving birth to rabbits. In an earlier century, priests would likely have been sent to investigate the case. In 1726, medical experts from the Royal Society of London were called in to investigate and discover that she was faking these "births."</span>

What surprises you about the text " emancipation proclamation "?
forsale [732]

Answer:

It is a surprise that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't include African American slaves that lived in the Union territory, but only included those who lived in the Confederate territories.

Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation was an Executive Order proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, that entered into force in 1863 declaring slaves in rebellious southern states and territories freed forever.

The Civil War was a struggle for the preservation of the Union after the southern states had separated. Morale in the south was initially high, and people thought they were fighting for his independence and his own way of life; the right of individual states to set their own laws (including the right to keep slaves) was central.

Although initially President Lincoln was hesitant about the complete abolition of slavery, he changed his mind during the course of the war. He was convinced that slavery had to be abolished in order to win the war. This eventually resulted in the abolition of slavery in the rebellious Confederate States of America.

Although slave owners did not tell their slaves about the proclamation, many found out. More and more slaves escaped and revolted, and everywhere the Northern armies appeared the plantations emptied. This proclamation did not cause slaves to be released immediately, but it was a major step forward. The document stated to the whole world that the civil war was meant to put an end to slavery.

Answer:

The modern state of California was considered part of the Spanish empire for nearly 300 years. The Spanish colonial period had a profound effect on the cultural, religious, and economic development of the state.the US state of California has a long history of Spanish colonial rule that has greatly impacted the state's development to the present dayThe impact of colonial Spain can be seen everywhere in modern-day California. Perhaps most obviously, many of the Spanish pueblos still exist as California's major cities, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. And up until recently, these cities were often ruled according to strict racial hierarchies, as they were in the Spanish area, with citizens of European descent controlling the cities and people of Native and Mexican descent largely shut out from power.
