Question

How did the Scientific Revolution influence the Enlightenment?

Answer 1

The Scientific Revolution brought with it the appearance and development of many scientific disciplines, some of which were revived from the ancient classical period of Greece. The development of science pushed the teachings of the Church, and subjected all phenomena in nature and society to examination, experiment, scientific analysis, based on natural, not divine laws. Thus, the suppressed ideas that the monarch has a divine mandate and that everyone else is subordinate to him, on the contrary, all people have the right, according to natural law and humanism, to participate in the election of the government. Everything, even the government is subject to checks and changes, and this is one of the impacts on the Enlightenment, as well as the point of view of the world in general. Social and political life has changed, as is everyday life, because the effects of the scientific revolution have changed perceptions and views of the world. The Church opposed such a teaching and even felt the fear of new or revived classical humanistic patterns.
