The Discoveries Of The Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution changed the world in many ways such as having better medicine and having people question everything that they thought was true. Having better medicine made a better change in the world because without it we would still have some diseases like back then most people would probably still be dying such as the black death after it has happened people started developing better medical practices and better medicine so it wouldn’t happen again though having better medicine caused big problems making the church have big problems with science.

During the Scientific Revolution scientists such as Galileo, Copernicus, Descartes and Bacon wrestled with questions about God, human aptitude, and the possibilities of understanding the world. Eventually, the implications of the new scientific findings began to affect the way people thought and behaved throughout Europe. Society began to question the authority of traditional knowledge about the universe. This in turn, allowed them to question traditional views of the state and social order. No longer was the world constructed as the somewhat simple Ptolemaic Model suggested. The Earth for the first time became explicable and was no longer the center of the universe. Many beliefs that had been held for hundreds of years now proved to be

Prior to the 18th century, the European mindset was based on religion and superstition, with the church at the forefront. In the realm of science, people had accepted without question what they deemed to be irrefutable theories of “natural philosophy”, such as Aristotle’s “common sense physics” and Ptolemy’s geocentric view of the universe. But due to the rediscovery of classical learning, new technology such as the printing press, international competition, and many other factors, in the 18th century humanity began to make significant steps in progress during the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution then inspired a period of time known as the Enlightenment, or the Age of Reason, in which men discovered ideas and principles that would eventually alter the global mindset and served as a major turning point in European society. Despite these enormous changes, however, the Enlightenment did not serve all areas of European society; concepts such as peasantry, serfdom, sexism, and social inequality found little improvement in this era.

As we have discussed in class, read from our textbooks and read from primary sources we have learned that Europe has transformed a lot throughout history. Europe has gone through the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution and many other turning points. The most important turning point in European history is the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution is important because the way people understood the universe, medicine, anatomy and chemistry changed. It also led to the Enlightenment, which brought about human reason as well as changes in government and social life.

Is it possible for a revolution to occur overnight? No. A Revolution is the wish to overthrow a government or social belief to achieve a new political or belief system in the course of several years. These revolts or breakthroughs tend to occur when the essential needs of the common people are not being met. Between 1500-1800 in Europe, literature also reflected historical events including famous romantic novels such as Frankenstein and A Tale of Two Cities. For my Winter Trimester Final in Revolutions in Thought, I chose to represent revolutions by creating a tree where each revolution was benefited from pervious discoveries in the prior revolution. For example, how the Scientific Revolution’s discoveries would benefit the Enlightenment Period.

In the Middle Ages, medieval people believed that God was the center of truth and experience; because of this, they greatly doubted human perception. Human perception was very inconsistent and deceitful, but this was because the material world itself was known to be misleading and illusive. Instead of it being a path that leads to truth and veracity, the material world was a distraction to people and directed them away from the actual truth. On the contrary, humanism was a mode of thought devoted to humans and their values and dignities instead of God; this system was focused around the importance of humans and reason instead of supernatural matters and religion. Humanism broke away from supernaturalism and believed that human perception and creativity were a truthful and reliable source for knowledge.

Chapter 16 is an introduction to the scientific revolution. Philosophy, astronomy, mechanics, and mathematics are some of the subjects that made the revolution historical. Copernicus is one of the scientists talked about in this chapter. He stated that the Earth moved around the sun just like all the other planets in our solar system. Newton was also a prodigious astronomer, who followed in Copernicus’s footsteps and made a discovery that changed the face of science. Newton published his work on the laws of gravity which have been studied throughout history and is still taught today. Galileo was also another world renowned Astronomer, who found there were other geographical features on planets and the moon. Maria Merian one of the very few

To begin with, people back then and still today don’t think certain subjects are important or necessary to have a life or live successfully. During the Seventeenth Century there were many political issues, in addition to that they needed to add an intellectual challenge. It arrived to the people The Scientific Revolution, it challenged conceptions and beliefs about the nature of the world, it made people have their differences. With the Reformation and the subsequent religious wars it had created an environment in which Europeans became more comfortable challenging both of the ecclesiastical and political realms. The Europeans taught that with The Scientific Revolution people should view the universe in a new way. The Scientific Revolution changed the Eighteenth Century it made a major impact and it popularized in the Eighteenth Century. During The Scientific Revolution many roles changed, many more subjects were invented that changed and helped society:

people's lives. Before the scientific revolution it was just the Bible or a Church they

Beginning in Europe during mid-sixteenth century and lasting until mid-eighteenth century, this period of time saw advancements in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry which would lead into modern science. These advancements, however, challenged the doctrine of the Catholic Church and other previous beliefs. Scientific thinkers such as Copernicus, Newton, and Descartes helped impact Europe through challenging long-held religious beliefs, changing philosophical beliefs, and introducing new technology.

The Scientific Revolution is one of the most history changing events in earth’s 4.543 Billion years of existence. On 1543 In early Europe, A scientist named Nicholas Copernicus came up with the theory that the stars and planets revolve around the sun rather than the sun revolving around the planets and stars. This kicked off the start to the infamous scientific revolution. With this spark in Science and history, other scientists and people were eager to come up with scientific conclusions. Two other examples of contributors of the scientific revolution are Edward Jenner and, Gabriel Daniel. These three men all made an impact on the scientific revolution and changed the way us as humans live

Plenty of new theories, philosophies, and inventions emerged from the Scientific Revolution. They helped the people during that time and even helped the people of today. These theories, inventions, and philosophies are continued to still be used now. They had a huge impact during the Scientific Revolution which shaped Science into what it is currently.

The Scientific Revolution, a period of advancement and changes in principles, greatly alters the relationship between human and nature. Before the revolution, the church was the core of all metaphysical beliefs. Scientists such as Aristotle, Copernicus, and Newton elicited a distrust from the people and steered their beliefs from the church. The theorists of the Scientific Revolution did not intend to alter the people's sacred judgments, however, they questioned customary perspectives and encouraged a fresh method of reasoning that depends on skepticism other than essential truths- an evolution that modified our understanding forevermore.

The biggest achievement in the Scientific Revolution was the collapse of the ancient-medieval picture of the world. The new ideology was created, which helped to create the modern science. In antiquity, the focus was on natural and cosmic life; during the Renaissance, there was a focus on understanding the world through Humanism and the role of the person in the world. After all, Descartes’s philosophy, which was the foundations of the scientific method, did not deny the creation of the world by God. However, it claimed that from that moment the world began to develop with its internal laws.

This week's blog entry involves the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution would come to shape the modern understanding of science. During the time of the Scientific Revolution, the term science did not yet exist. During the revolution, the term used before science was natural philosophy. The Scientific Revolution took place within Europe during the years 1500 - 1700. Some argue that the revolution began with the man named Nicolaus Copernicus, with his theories of a sun centered universe. A heavy influence of the Scientific Revolution was the translations of the philosophers of old during the Renaissance. The theories and idea's of past philosophers would influence the thoughts and idea's of people during the Scientific Revolution.
