AP European History
Unit 4 – Scientific, Philosophical, and Political Developments
Topic 4.1
From a Marxist perspective, how might we interpret access to new scientific knowledge generated during the Scientific Revolution?
Access was largely limited to the bourgeoisie and ruling class, reinforcing economic and societal inequalities.
Access was universally available leading to greater empowerment of the proletariat.
The new scientific knowledge had no impact on societal structures as it wasn't associated with wealth or power.
It led to a wider redistribution of wealth as scientific knowledge became a new form of capital.
