Document Summary

Good peer review websites to use for writing assignments: What the mind is and what bodies are. Descartes (1596-1650) during the rise of science (scientific of revolution) Galileo (challenges the nature of the solar system) Robert boyle (1627-1691) (the corpusularian hypothesis)--everything in the world is just physical and everything in the world is made up of tiny particles called coprusuls. Believed that the idea couldn"t be divided even further. Both newton and descartes wanted to give a purely mechanical science of nature. New science vs the old science= the evolution of science.
