As the name itself states‚ the scientific revolution was a time when sciences prospered and came to light. By definition‚ the scientific revolution was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period‚ when developments in mathematics‚ physics‚ astronomy‚ biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature. Just like humanism and the renaissance‚ the scientific revolution was when individuals took to share their knowledge with the rest of the

A complete revolution of knowledge and transformation in perception of the natural world‚ the Scientific Revolution was one of the greatest movements in history. Inspired by the ideas of the Renaissance‚ a beautiful rebirth of intellect that had arisen from the stagnation of the Middle Ages‚ brilliant scientists such as Johannes Kepler‚ Galileo Galilei‚ and Isaac Newton sought to escape‚ disprove‚ and replace traditional beliefs with new ideas about the universe and the mechanical laws that govern

When looking at how science of the early modern period provided foundations for‚ and gave rise to modern science‚ many historians turn to the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. However‚ a major problem with many writings about historical science is that they have a tendency to divide historical figures into ’good guys’ fighting for truth‚ and ’bad guys’ who opposed these truths as a result of ignorance or bias. This kind of writing is known as Whiggish histories of science. Whig history

Analysis of Thomas Kuhn’s “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” “In learning a paradigm‚ the scientist acquires theory‚ methods‚ and standards together‚ usually in an inextricable mixture. Therefore‚ when paradigms change‚ there are usually significant shifts in the criteria determining the legitimacy both of the problems and of proposed solutions.” – Thomas Kuhn. This quote is from Thomas Kuhn’s work The Structure of Scientific Revolution‚ in which Kuhn describes his view on science as

optics‚ physics‚ and chemistry were created with a definite advancement in the mathematics and philosophy. The revolution was mainly caused by the necessity for more knowledge and learning. The rediscovery of ancient yet highly developed mathematics from the Babylonians‚ Greeks‚ and Egyptians during the Renaissance only added fuel to the spark of interest. The final cause of the revolution was the Age of Exploration which required inventors and physicist to create clocks and watches for sailors to
