The 17th Century was that century which lasted from 1601-1700 in the Gregorian calendar.

The 17th Century falls into the Early Modern period of Europe and was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the French Grand Siècle dominated by Louis XIV, and the beginning of modern science and philosophy, including the contributions by bloody warfare throughout the century, by the Thirty Years' War, the Great Turkish War, the end of the Dutch Revolt and the English Civil War among others, while European colonization of the Americas began in earnest.

In the east, the 17th Century saw the flowering of the Ottoman, Persian and Mughal empires, the beginning of the Edo period in feudal Japan, and the violent transition from the Ming to the Qing Dynasty in China.

The Scientific Revolution ended in the late 17th century.

What was the 17th Century Epistemological Debate?
Q. I'm taking a class in philosophy in which we are studying Epictetus, Epicurus, and Hobbes. And one of our questions is to talk about the 17th century "epistemological debate." Though what exactly does this mean? Hobbes was the only one of these 3 alive in the 17th century. So the debate couldn't have been between the 3 of these guys. Does anyone know how to clarify this? What could this be in reference to? What is the debate?? Thanks!

A. Epistemology is the study of where knowledge comes from. The only debate I remember Hobbes to be involved with was the nature of humans. He maintained that people are intrinsically selfish and self-serving; without proper control by government we would have an anarchy in which only the physically strong would survive. This was a theory strongly disagreed with by JJ Rousseau, who maintained that people were intrinsically good.

Homework help-Similarities between the Spanish Conquest of the Americas and the 9th-17th Century Crusades?
Q. I've already asked this question, but only one person replied; the information they gave me was very helpful, but I still need more information. Tell the similarites between the Spanish Conquest of the Americas and the Crusades that took place around the 9th to 17th century. It would be mostly appriciated. I rarely ask for any homework help. This was just a very difficult subject for me. I have to do a debate on it tomorrow in my history class.

A. They were both travelling to spread Christianity, map the world, open trade routes, explore, find gold, stop paganism and enlighten people of a new way of thinking and living. It was mainly to conquer new lands and expand their countrys and gain more power. The web sites below will have more details of these two so you can write out a paper if thats what your teacher wants. They have definitions of all the key words, and it is very accurate. Lots of people who want to do accurate research will use this site. You will have to do some reading.
