Politics and Rights:
- Social Contract Theory: The idea that individuals surrender some of their rights to a government in exchange for protection and security.
- Separation of Powers: The idea that political power should be divided among different branches of government to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful.
Natural Law:
- Universal Rights: The belief that all humans have certain inherent rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and property.
- Natural Rights: The idea that individuals have certain rights simply by virtue of being human, rather than by virtue of any social or political structure.
Arts and Culture:
- Rationalism: The belief that reason and logic should be used to understand and interpret the world around us, including works of art and culture.
- Neoclassicism: The artistic movement that drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art and culture, emphasizing balance, harmony, and symmetry.
Science and Philosophy:
- Empiricism: The belief that knowledge should be based on empirical observation and evidence, rather than on abstract or theoretical ideas.
- Skepticism: The idea that all knowledge is uncertain and that we should question everything, including our own beliefs and assumptions.
