Abstract
Seventeenth century rationalists like Descartes and Leibniz believe that knowledge comes from reason alone. It is not necessary to see examples in the physical world;truth can be grasped entirely in the mind. This is a period in which science is making major breakthroughs. In fact, to some, the great intellectual invention of the 17th century is the development of theories, a set of abstract ideas that can be applied to everyday situations. Now scientists like Galileo have the key to explaining everything through reason.
