Revolutions:
Action
research - cyclical learning
Sixteenth-century astrologers serving princes and
generals spoke of "revolution" to designate abrupt and unforeseen
events determined by the conjunction of planets - that is, by forces beyond
human control.
Thus the original scientific meaning of the word,
conveying regularity and repetitiveness, came, when referring to human affairs,
to signify the very opposite, namely, the sudden and unpredictable.
