Modern Düşüncenin Doğuşu

Europe discovers the new world in 1492 and develops it in a process of modernization-colonization.
While rapidly differentiating himself, he tries to change and rethink himself and the rest of the world. "Modern man", who represents the conquerors of all times on one side and the supporters of freedom on the other, is born and grows up. The pioneer of this process in practice and theory is Spain. XVI. From the beginning of the century to the 17th century. The Golden Age, which dates back to the mid-century, is the period in which this country made a glorious breakthrough in the fields of philosophy, literature, art and religious thought, and also introduced the concepts of modern state, human rights and international law to Western thought. The bold solutions found by the thinkers and activists of the Golden Age to the new problems of the Age are still current. It is striking that they determined the basic principles of modernity with a critical mindset and unique mastery. Their struggle for universal values in an adventure of conquest is both tragic and admirable... What is equally surprising is that this starting moment and place, which is loaded with meaning for today and our mentality, is ignored and Vitoria, Las Casas, Suárez and others are forgotten. But to ignore all these would be to give up understanding modern thought and structure.
