Talking about science
As usual, science continues to develop by leaps and
bounds. In fields such as physics, Albert Enstein stands
out as a figure that illuminates with his Theory of
Relativity and his discoveries on atomic energy. Biology
and medicine also advance hand in hand with
chemistry, achieving discoveries such as the study of
hormones and genetics.

The existentialism
Albert Enstein

Philosophy also suffers a boost due to the darkness of


the global situation. This is how new currents such as Martin Heidegger

existentialism are formed.


Existentialism spoke about the lack of meaning in life
and how societies are becoming dehumanized, the
philosophers Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre
highlight

The vitalism
On the other hand, existentialism is born the current
philosophical vitalism that exalts the figure of the
human being and that is being misused. The most
influential philosopher of this current is the famous
German Friedrich Nietzsche

The social advances of this era such as public


education or democracy allow a greater percentage
of the population to acquire knowledge. This
improvement allows society to develop its own
consciousness and considerably increases the number
of social movements claiming rights unthinkable in the
past such as universal suffrage.
