Significant Time Periods In European Civilization

During this semester we have learned and discuss two very significant time periods in European civilization. These periods are the scientific revolution and the enlightenment period. The scientific revolution took place towards the termination of the Renaissance period and lasted throughout the late 18th century. It was a different way that sophisticated Europeans looked and thought about the natural world (476). It was based on the eagerness to query accepted ideas and reason. During the 15th and 16th centuries there were many developments that occur that encourage philosophers ideas to change to modern ones.
