The Enlightenment in Spain

Tipp-Ex SL (Spain) Created by Tipp-Ex

The Enlightenment emerged as a struggle for the hegemony of mass production and power, driven by scientific progress (Newton), rationalism, and the need for better information communication. This era produced booklets full of intellect, the scientific method, and the development of critical thinking, culminating in the first encyclopedia published in 1751 in France.

Enlightened Ideals in the Peninsula

When these ideals reached the peninsula, they did not adopt the anticlerical positions of the French encyclopedists. Instead, the Spanish Enlightenment was supported by the monarchy. We find a genuine interest in local history, language, and literature—three factors that distinguish...

The French Revolution: Origins and Political Shifts

The Estates General and the Third Estate

The French National Assembly traces its roots to the meeting of the Estates General on 5 May 1789 at Versailles, chaired by King Louis XVI. Traditionally, each estate deliberated separately and cast a single vote. The privileged classes (First and Second Estates) consistently imposed their views, holding two votes against the single vote of the Third Estate, which represented the vast majority of the French population.

The dispute over voting procedures triggered an institutional revolt. The Third Estate proclaimed itself the National Assembly, asserting its exclusive right to make policy decisions and vote on taxes.

Ancient Astronomical Observations

Early astronomers peered into the sky month by month, as part of a religious ritual. They noted that certain stars appear just before the sun and disappear immediately after it. These observations were repeated over the years, with meticulous measurements and annotations of the times and positions these phenomena occurred in the sky. This led to the conclusion that these cycles were repeated cyclically with each season. The sky, in essence, provided a large celestial schedule that allowed them to predict seasons favorable for hunting and navigation.

For the Egyptians, when the star Sirius appeared above the horizon before dawn, it signaled the approach of the planting season. The Babylonians, meanwhile, developed...
