During the Enlightenment ideas and notions about the universe are changing radically. The geocentric system give way to new discoveries of Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler and Newton.
What was the worldview of the Greeks in the 18th century? What were the spiritual barriers which Greeks had to overcome in order to follow the new natural philosophy that was developing rapidly in the West? What is the current situation in education and science in Greece? Does Greece need a new Enlightenment?
