Answer:Enlightenment philosophy and Great Awakening Christianity were very different, but both influenced the American colonies and American Revolution and both frame our thinking today. Â The Enlightenment â so named by its own practitioners, who didnât lack self-esteem â is best thought of as a continuation of the Renaissance we read about in Chapter 2, with a strong emphasis on the Scientific Revolution, reason, and progress. Â Its practitioners adhered to the scientific method of testing hypotheses through rigorous, repeatable experimentation. Â Ancient Greeks, inventors of the first organized sporting events (the Olympics), also promoted hard-nosed, constructive debate and organized competition in law, politics, philosophy, and science. Â Greeks like Thales, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Heron, and Democritus took things in this analytical direction first â testing their ideas against each other â and Iraqi-Egyptian Hasan Ibn al-Haytham (aka Alhazen) honed the scientific method in the Middle Ages. Â Even in ancient Greece, though, thinkers were outnumbered: Athenians banished Anaxagoras for arguing that the Moon was a rock rather than a God.
