2. Analyze how Galileo, Descartes, and Newton altered traditional interpretations of nature and challenged traditional sources of knowledge.
Hint: 2 basic setups; both work as long as you answer ALL parts of the question. 1) G,D, & N paragraphs, making sure your cover both issues in each paragraph 2) a traditional interpretations & sources of knowledge setup (2 body paragraphs) in which you would cover G,D, & N in each paragraph.
