Scientific Revolution Essay
Description
This essay is meant to familiarize yourself with the basic history of the Early Modern scientific revolution. Your source can be drawn mainly from the textbook
WESTERN CIVILIZATIONS VOL II
write about the key issues and theoretical frameworks of the scientific revolution as outlined in our chapter reading and resources of this unit. After studying the scientific revolution, can you explain why some sciences progressed faster than others [see especially the segment on “the structure of the scientific revolution” on why roadblocks and anomalies lead to crisis resulting in a paradigm shift which is necessary for scientific progress and the avoidance of boredom]?
Can you explain why and how astronomy became the hinge of scientific debates? Why did mathematics assume importance in this new way of thinking? How did disagreements and politics help bring about progress in science?
What does it mean to explain a phenomenon scientifically? How did scientists (such as Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, etc.) shape the scientific method?
If you can, incorporate into your writing the impact this had on different fields and branches of science such as natural history, geography, chemistry, and biology. Address as you write the role of science in society based firmly on the materials you read in this chapter.
