17th Century Europe Mid- 17th Century dress continued in the softer style, but had a change in the waistline of both men and women by returning to the natural waist. However the 17th Century is further complicated by a considerable fragmentation of fashion in the West. Mainstream fashionable dress in the early 17th Century began with the silhouette left over from the previous period, stiffened, slashed, be-ruffed, and stuffed. www.costumes.org /classes/fashiondress/17thCent.htm   (1415 words)

The 17th Century Later views which arose in the 19th century needed to reconcile evidence from studies on the localization of cerebral function and on functional nervous disorders with prevailing theory in biology and psychology. In the later half of the 19th century, as we shall see, dual-aspect theories underwent a revival. Early maneuvers of this sort, such as those of Malebranche, Spinoza, Leibniz, and the French materialists La Mettrie and Cabanis, were formulated in the context of metaphysics, in direct response to Cartesian dualism. serendip.brynmawr.edu /Mind/17th.html   (1031 words)

Reconstructing History — Fashion in the 17th century When 17th century fashion is mentioned, you may conjure up images of huge millstone ruffs, shirts dripping with lace, and miles and miles of metallic thread embroidery. The 17th century was certainly a period of extremes.

boys clothes: 17th century Children in the 17th century, once out of their swaddling clothes and baby/toddler dresses, were dressed virtually as miniature adults.

17th Century Petticoats One exception is cotton, which was not worn extensively in Europe until the late part of the 17th century, which made it a quite highly prized fabric so it is not a good choice for everyday petticoats, even for the aristocracy. However the article at http://marquise.de/en/1700/howto/18chemise.shtml is quite lucid and accurate to my knowledge and although it is 18th century, it could be 17th century with just a few minor adjustments. It also includes a pattern for a "late 17th century corset" which is a good starting point for a bodice or a pair of stays for 1640-1700. www.marquise.de /en/1600/howto/petticoat.shtml   (3033 words)

Magazine Antiques: 17th century AD With the rise of liberalism in the mid-nineteenth century, including the assertion of the freedom to establish a business, the guild system and the hall courts fell by the wayside. However, the finances of many groups within society improved greatly during the eighteenth century, and burghers were increasingly able to build grand residences and acquire expensive furnishings, such as looking glasses. Looking glasses were manufactured in the cities, and that was where most of them were owned until the nineteenth century. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1026/is_4_166/ai_n6249246   (1340 words)

History: 17th century Tastes had changed in the course of the late 17th century to favour 'longways for as many as will' (already better represented in the first edition than most people today usually appreciated) over all other possible formations and to favour newly composed dances and tunes over ideosyncratic ones of the past. Jean Boiseul, in his1606 Traité contre les danses called the courante, branle and galliard immoral), the puritans of early 17th century England were particularly loud in their condemnation of pastime. Not till near the end of the century, when Charles II started the process of replacing theocratic governments with political appointees, did the balance of power in the colony began to shift and 'mixt' dancing become more acceptable. www.earthlydelights.com.au /history3.htm   (2255 words)

HOASM: The Italian Seicento (17th Century) At the beginning of the seventeenth century opera was born in Florence,derived partly from the development of musical dialogs, and partly from the efforts of the Humanists to revive classical tragedy.

The Italian preference for stringed instruments led to the classical age of violin making. www.hoasm.org /PeriodV.html   (190 words)

17th Century In the early seventeenth century the right to this region was disputed by the English, Dutch and Swedes, but very little settlement took place until Penn secured proprietary rights in 1681.

MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY: INTRODUCTION Philosophy in the medieval style continued into the late seventeenth century; Descartes and Leibniz cannot be well understood without some knowledge of medieval thought. In 9th century Baghdad scholars in the 'House of Wisdom', under the Caliph's patronage, made or corrected translations of Greek, Persian and Indian writings. Philosophy was of course a study for gentlemen, but the humanists thought it should be carried on in relaxed style in dialogues, essays or letters, not in laborious 'scholastic' genres such as the treatise, disputed question or commentary on a text. teaching.arts.usyd.edu.au /medieval/2005/Intro.html   (6363 words)

17th-century philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Western Philosophy, the modern period is usually taken to start with the seventeenth century — more specifically, with the work of René Descartes, who set much of the agenda as well as much of the methodology for those who came after him. The seventeenth century in Europe saw the culmination of the slow process of detachment of philosophy from theology. Kant was to classify his predecessors into two schools: the Rationalists and the Empiricists, and Early Modern Philosophy (as seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophy is known) is often characterised in terms of a supposed conflict between these schools. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/17th-century_philosophy   (423 words)

Greeks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Greeks are a nation and ethnic group, who have populated Greece from the 17th century BC until the present day. It was the name of a Boeotian tribe that migrated to Italy in the 8th century BC and probably through contact with natives there brought the term to represent all Hellenes, which then established itself in Italy and in the West in general. After the 4th century BCE, Greek became the lingua franca of the East Mediterranean region and was widely spoken by educated non-Greeks. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hellene   (1409 words)

Phoenicia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At the beginning of the 2nd century BC, the Seleucid monarchy had finally reasserted its primacy on the former Phoenician coast, but the last Seleucid kings' local power was increasingly a fiction, as the cities, now thoroughly Hellenistic, regained local independence. The Amarna letters, dated to the 14th century BC, although written in Akkadian, the language of diplomacy at the time, contain solecisms that are not 'mistakes', but actually early Canaanite words and phrases. The arrival of Alexander the Great in 333 – 332 BC is the main turning point, for Hellenistic Phoenicia lost its influential mercantile role, and the distinctive culture of its cities was Hellenized under Alexander and his Macedonian successors. www.lexington-fayette.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Phoenicia   (1409 words)
