The Scientific Revolution was one of the most influential movements in history. He pioneered modern scientific thinking and a completely new way of thinking when it came to the state of nature and human nature itself. The Scientific Revolution was started by the Enlightenment, in which the scientific method prevailed not only over science but also over philosophy. The motto of the Scientific Revolution, “knowledge is power,” describes the ever-necessary desire to achieve knowledge of the world around us. Francis Bacon believed that knowledge gained through inductive reasoning (a means of seeking truth by observing what is happening in the world and coming to conclusions based solely on those observations) was the greatest force of all and had the power to ultimately transform the 'human being. competition. He also supported the idea that philosophy should be based on reason and must be completely separate from religion. These ideas were the first steps towards the formation and establishment of the scientific method. Descartes, a French mathematician and philosopher, went even further than Bacon in emphasizing observation and was one of the first attempts to apply the new method of scientific inquiry to philosophy and theories of science. knowledge. He emphasized that a person's senses can deceive him and that even with observation and experiments one cannot always trust the knowledge gained. Doubt, for Descartes, was the only way a person could acquire absolute knowledge. To accept any conclusion except through the use of doubt and a rigorous process of verification was folly. The only idea he considered valid was that of the ability to doubt and therefore to exist. The phrase "I think, therefore I am" was the solution... middle of paper... very different in ideology than other enlightened thinkers, Rousseau, however, used the power of thought, knowledge, and doubt which was promoted during the Scientific Revolution. The main goal of the Enlightenment was to popularize the scientific method to be used to change the values ​​and mentality of the Western world. It was about using the scientific revolution as a basis for altering the study of human behavior by studying it rationally. In an effort to popularize the progress of science and philosophy, many works were translated and published in the vernacular so that as many people as possible could be exposed to these ideas. The scientific revolution began with scientists and philosophers such as Galileo and Francis Bacon and expanded into the Enlightenment, where all educated people could participate in the dispersal of the ideas of Newton, Voltaire, and Rousseau..
