Answer the following question:

1. What is intellectual revolution?

- The term "Intellectual Revolution" refers to Greek conjecture about "nature"
before Socrates (about 600 to 400 BCE). As a result, other technical terminology
include "pre-Socratic," "non-theological," and "first philosophy." It is the period
during which paradigm shifts happened. It is where popular scientific
assumptions were challenged and opposed.

2. What is scientific revolution?

- The Scientific Revolution refers to an era of dramatic change in scientific ideas
that occurred between the 16th and 17th centuries. It superseded the Greek
view of nature, which had dominated science for nearly two millennia.
- The tremendous deluge of information that emerged from the Scientific
Revolution put enormous strain on traditional organizations and customs. It was
no longer adequate to publish scientific findings in a costly book that few could
afford; information needed to be disseminated broadly and quickly. Natural
philosophers needed to be certain of their facts, therefore they sought
independent and critical validation of their results. New methods were
developed to achieve these goals.

3. What is structural theory?

- Structural theory can be characterized as a theory that organizes a set of
propositions or, in the scientific sciences, a set of observations to which they refer
as a whole composed of interdependent pieces. A structure can be
characterized as a functional whole that presides over a series of transformations
and is controlled by self-regulating mechanisms.
- This notion is equally applicable to inanimate material systems (self-regulating
machinery), mental creations (logico-mathematical holes, such as set theory),
living beings, and subsystems of living organisms. This final category includes
Freud's psychical apparatus, which can thus be considered the object of a
structural theory in psychoanalysis.
