Epistemology This questioned the spiritual and religious aspects of our earth. It questions where our knowledge came from and its origin story.

Deism This theory states God created the world but gave humans free will. He does not influence our actions nor how we behave. He set all of our lives up and we live it accordingly. Theory mainly presented by Rene Decartes.

Rene Decartes/ Rationalism The method of rationalism was first thought of by Rene Decartes who believed that the individual mind and its ability to be the chief of source

Heliocentrism The universe revolves around the sun with all planets and things orbiting the sun. This theory was created by the philosopher Nicholas Copernicus.

Treaty Of Westphalia This treaty reaffirms the peace of Augsburg. This is what put an end to the thirty years war. After this, Calvinism is recognized as a legal and fair religion.

Absolutism This is the style of government which was practiced in france. In this style of government which France practiced, the power was not shared. The power was held by a monarchy which followed religious roots. The man in charge of this government style, is Louis XIV.
