The Scientific Revolution science: called “natural philosophy”; “new science” Created a new way of thinking 1.Secular outlook – of this world 2.Rational – reason things out, think about EVERYTHING!!! 3.Use of Reason – humans can figure out laws of nature 4.Progress – get knowledge through progress

Causes 1.Scientist take note of inadequacies of standard theories and began questioning them 2.Interest in what is now known as magic – alchemy and astrology – seen as real science – Believed the world could be understood through several secret truths (Neo-Platonism) – contributed to new ideas & questioned old theories and the use of math 3. European interest in technology – New instruments and devices (printing press, telescope, vacuum pump, thermometer, barometer and microscope), were used making many new discoveries – Interest in technology based on competition and warfare

Effects of the Scientific Revolution Positive Effects Increased knowledge Greater toleration (scientific and religious) Less superstition More scientific answers Freedom to deviate from established theories which increased new developments Negative Effects Loss of innocence Loss of traditional faith Loss of faith in heaven Earth is no longer regarded as the center Skepticism Loss of personal/ caring God
