The Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution marked a pivotal shift in scientific thought from ancient Greek philosophy to modern science. Beginning with Aristotle's inductive reasoning but limited by the lack of tools, the Renaissance sparked a revival of deductive reasoning, emphasizing logic, experiments, and observation. Key figures like Copernicus reshaped our understanding of the cosmos, while Galileo challenged existing paradigms using the telescope, despite facing opposition. Isaac Newton's "Principia" laid the foundation for physics and calculus, influencing thinkers like Einstein. This era's advancements continue to impact various fields, including politics and philosophy.
