= Physics in the Enlightenment =

The departing point of the ilustrated physics is, without a doubt, the deep change in the conception of nature that Isaac Newton had introduced with his work.Principia mathematica philosophiae naturalis published in 1687.

At the beginning of the XVIII century the physics was still a diffuse concept, where the mathematics and the older aristotelian conceptions were mixed. Nevertheless, as a result of Principia, the newtonianismo, this is, the experimental face of the physics opposite to the aristotelian physics, that, despite of all it’ll survive.

In England, Newton was recognized while he was still alive as the major existing scientific and since the presidency of the Royal Society he imposed the ways of constructing the science of the XVIII century.

One of the most ancient and obsessive concerns of man was the transformation of bodies with the subsequent passage from one to another, so that the chemical forms magicexperimental-alchemy-was one of the oldest sciences to which he devoted himself passion. Alchemy gradually lost its character for being in a large number of alleged growers, quackery and deception, reaching ban by Kings and Popes. In the early sixteenth century the efforts of many alchemists are directed to prepare drugs and remedies to cure illnesses. ======

By the seventeenth century chemistry starts to emerge as an experimental science stand out as important contributions to chemistry, the work of Dutchman John Baptist van Helmont (1577-1644) on the various components of air which led to the discovery of carbon dioxide and especially the work of Robert Boyle (1627-1691) also set the ideal gas law that bears his name, defines in his book The Skeptical Chymist (The Skeptical Chemist) appeared in 1661, first the concept chemical element ======

In the period of Enlightenment, there are several highlights in the field of chemistry to be mentioning. First interest in the chemistry of gases with the phlogiston theory of the development of pneumatic chemistry. Secondly, as the century progresses, technology advances and increases the number and importance of those devoted to this science, for example, Cavendish, Priestley and Lavoisier. ======

With Lavoisier began the great eighteenth-century chemical revolution, motivated by two reasons: the systematic and precise use of the scale, as enforcement of conservation of mass, and recognition of the role of oxygen in the process calcination, combustion and respiration, which is nothing but manifestations of the same phenomenon, oxidation ======

=Enlightenment-Medicin=



during the enlighthment one of the areas that had a big scientific development was the medicine because of the necessity of the men to find answers about their own existence = One of the main progress in the medicine field was the introduction to Europe of an effective vaccine against smallpox, discover by Edward Jenner in 1798.  at the second half of the century appears the social medicine where several doctors apports investigations about the cures of the diseases in that age and some famous hospitals were founded  hidrogen is discovered, hidrogen and the breathing process, bacteries are investigated and the first artificial insemination was made in a frog and a dog. This age is Galvani, who discovered that the electric current excited the motor nerves. = the eighteenth century is that in which france niveled in surgeons and clinics; in England, brbers where separated from súrgenos, In spite of that surgeons kept imponent in front of pain and infection, the surgeon made technical progresses thanks to the major knowledge of the anatomy

The Cathedral

We are in the eighteenth century, the 'Cathedral' of the Enlightenment or Reason. Descartes believed that the physical world is a precise mechanism and the basic laws of nature are merely mechanical laws.

Astronomy and astrology are separated, and the latter enters a period of lethargy from which will not leave until the late nineteenth century.

In the early twentieth century, more exactly in the interval between the two wars in Europe, reborn interest in astrology. Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, the eminent psychoanalyst, creator of the theory of collective unconscious, is seriously interested in astrology to the point of conducting a series of astrological patterns and test the influence of their horoscopes on the issue of their relations.

The skepticism about astrology has its origins in the early Enlightenment, however, despite the open-mindedness of these times there is still a vestige of such skepticism, that's not going, although it has no basis in fact. The skepticism about astrology is based on a mechanistic and materialistic rationalism that modern science does not even have. Modern Science is rather rational-objective based on intuition, with an opening new horizons and possibilities, at least the great scientists of the twenty-first century and have thought so to this day, and the modern skeptics have contributed at least not with revolutionary or just something important that will advance to the World, at least we astrologers, as some astrologers have been secretly even today.

The emergence of the Enlightenment or the Age of Enlightenment Astrology superstition was listed as a rationalism that emerged exacerbated, when everything had to have a physical explanation and if he had not, then inexplicable phenomena are cataloged "Not Scientists", and therefore did not exist.
