Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, No. 8: The Light of Experience

Focuses on 17th century Holland, where the Dutch were the first to reflect the revolutionary change in thought that replaced divine authority with experience, experiment, and observation. Examines the art of Rembrandt, Hals, and Vermeer; the philosophy of Descartes; Sir Isaac Newton's mathematical exposition of laws governing the universe; and the scientific discoveries and implications for the age to come.
