Heroes Of The Enlightenment Ep1

Duration: 52:06
Updated: 23 Feb 2014

The Power of Knowledge explores the fact that from Google, and Facebook and Wikipedia to the systems of democracy, finance, manufacture and the law - many aspects of modern life owe their existence to a single defining period: the Age of Enlightenment of the 18th century. In the space of barely 100 years, Western deference to divine and royal authority gave way to a belief that humans had the power to understand their own nature and the universe around them. Holy writ gave way to empirical investigation, the power of miracles to that of logic and reason. In The Power of Knowledge we can see it was a revolution in ideas, information and technology. Filmed in locations across Britain, France, Germany, Portugal and America, this illuminating series brings to life some of the key characters of the era - Newton, Erasmus, Darwin, Voltaire, Diderot, Condorcet, Frederick the Great and Thomas Jefferson - and the ideas that shaped the world we live in today. The Power of Knowledge is part of the BBC history series Heroes of the Enlightenment which provides an insightful look at this turbulent historical period.

India Invented - Ep3 Age of enlightenment

Duration: 28:22
Updated: 23 Aug 2013

A 13-part history of India from the prehistoric era to the present. (Each part is a video of about 28 minutes) Download Subtitles: http://subscene.com/subtitles/india-invented/english/867878 Complete transcript of all 13 episodes: (google doc) https://docs.google.com/document/d/12vOZw6VZI6C0xJAQsyl3NBkw2l39qdGUwxjkQyhoh-o/pub Video Title: India invented: an exploration of culture and civilisation in historical outline Author(s): Das, Arvind N. ; Ghosh, Avik. ; Sinha, Aradhana. ; Deshpande, Prachi. ; Chandavarkar, Bhaskar. Arvind Das - wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvind_Narayan_Das In his book "India Invented", he made the observation that India is not something waiting to be discovered, as Jawaharlal Nehru had treated it in his Discovery of India, but something that is to be constantly invented in the process of understanding it- that was his statement of praxis. Year: 1999 1. Exploring Indian history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feHZVVW3Loo Part 1 presents an overview of India's past with a suggestion that history is the account of long term change in the day-to-day lives of ordinary people. 2. Dawn of civilization. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jG3uUj42lE Part 2 covers the huge historical period from the Old Stone Age to the coming of the Aryans to the Indian Sub-continent. It also takes a look at the famous Harappan Civilisation. 3. Age of enlightenment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPpJfbf2Fm8 Part 3 looks at the Sixth Century B.C., when different schools of thought flowered and focuses on the two major philosophical orders that arose in this time: Jainism and Buddhism. 4. Age of iron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP1rW0l0cLs Part 4 centers around the Iron Age, an era that opened around 1000 B.C. and also carries out an analysis of the rule of the righteous Ashoka in this context. 5. The Buddha overtaken. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq6Dk6OGEwI Part 5 captures the historical context of the virtual disappearance of Buddhism from India for several centuries and examines the hypothesis that it was the changing nature of the economy that rendered organised Buddhism more or less redundant for a long period. 6. The spice of life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSvzYxEDyUk Part 6 describes the history of South India including the development of a distinct culture in this region, the building of huge temples, the extension of agriculture and the creation of irrigation systems. 7. The long twilight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-vGpeStdE Part 7 looks at feudalism in India, a feature that dominated much of the early Christian era in Indian history. 8. Pilgrims' progress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15az12D8A-Q Part 8 covers the different forms of spirituality which developed in India, from pantheism and animism to organized religion and shows how the Indian culture has been formed by collective spiritual quests from the earliest times to the present. 9. Islam comes to Hindustan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d2QRolijCs Part 9 revolves around one of the largest influences that shaped medieval and modern Indian history: the coming of Muslims to the sub-continent. 10. West meets East. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyAkH5efJWk Part 10 looks at the coming of Europeans to India, beginning with early contacts with Portuguese, French, and British voyagers. It also captures the story of how trade led to colonization and finishes off with a look at the advent of British rule over India. 11. The age of empire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBhVpBw5py4 Part 11 covers the Mughul empire, the greatest and grandest of its time in the world. It takes a look at the economic and social structure of the Mughal rule and also carries out an analysis of the political and religious policies of the various Mughal rulers. 12. Colonial encounters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=movNLVYtF2Q Part 12 centers around the consolidation of British rule in India, the policies of the British East India Company, the devastating economic impact of colonialism and the rise of nationalist forces in the country. 13. The nation comes of age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn3ekiYfNWo Part 13 looks at the several civilizational trends that have formed India over the centuries and attempts to reinforce the idea that runs through the series that Indian history lives on in its past.
