In the history of science, the Scientific Revolution refers to an era that began roughly with the discoveries of Kepler, Galileo, and their early 17th-century contemporaries and ended with Sir Isaac Newton's "Mathematical Foundations of Natural Philosophy" published in 1687.
The seventeenth century was the age of large-scale scientific discovery. Even though the word science had no independent meaning around the time, Newton was also called a philosopher of nature because the word “naturalist” did not yet exist. And not only has important theoretical and empirical progress been made, but the perception in which scientists have worked has changed significantly. At the beginning of the century, science defined itself mainly according to Aristotle's philosophy of nature, and at the end according to mathematics, physics, and empiricism.
