Question

How did the competing interests of scientists change thinking during the scientific revolution?

Answer 1

Hello.

Scientific Revolution has been the most significant and important period of discovery and growth of the sciences in the whole of history. There were philosophes that dedicated their lives to explore and question the natural world around them.  Eventually, people began to ponder whether what they were led to believe was true. Philosophers began to prove everything that they thought to be true, in fact false. The Scientific Revolution was responsible for the introduction of ideas such as a heliocentric solar system and laws of planetary motion. After the scientific revolution, people throughout began to expand their views on the true realities that surrounded them. Technology is based on problems and solutions that we now a days must over come.  

Scientific Revolution will impact the eighteenth century Europe in many ways, such as giving society a sense of newfound independency, new discoveries, and new knowledge. From that moment on, people have been changing the way they see the world. Now we have a real knowledge of a lot of Sciences such us Maths, and Medicine. People started thinking in a critical way, more rationally and independently of things and beliefs; thank to phylosophy, they started questioning everything, and even the church started losing its power.
