The Scientific
Revolution
What is the
“Scientific Revolution?”
• Increasing number of discoveries and
inventions
• A shift in traditional
ways of thinking
about the world
• Shaped the way
we do science
today
What is “Science?”
What characteristics distinguish science
from what is not science?
What kinds of things would it make you
think of if you heard someone say:
“What an unscientific view”
or
“That was the scientific way to approach it”?
Medieval Science:
Natural Philosophy
• Relied on speculation
and theorizing rather
than observation
• Dominated by
common sense, myth
and folklore
• Included alchemy and
magic
Case Study: The Black
Death
• Data/Observations:
– Nasty black lumps
were forming on
people
– People were becoming
sick
– People were dying
– The world was falling
into disorder and
chaos
Q: What is happening? Why is this happening?
A: The witches are to blame
Q: What is happening? Why is this happening?
A: The Jews are to blame
Q: What is happening? Why is this happening?
A: It is the apocalypse, the world is ending
Q: What is happening? Why is this happening?
A: We are to blame, God is punishing us
Case Study: The Black
Death
• Sources of
Knowledge
– Common
Sense
– The Bible
– Folklore
– Superstition
and Magic
Medieval Science:
One with the Church
• Time of miracles and
supernatural
• Nature seemed irregular
and inconsistent
• Studied science to learn
more about God
• Bible, not human
observation, was ultimate
truth
Medieval Science:
One with the Church
• Church - dominant
authority on what is true
and not true
• Most schools - religious
institutions
• Church decided official
curriculum
• Most scholars -
members of clergy
But then things changed . . .
WHY?
Causes of the Scientific
Revolution
• Recovery of ancient texts during the
Renaissance
• Need to solve navigational problems in
sea voyages
• Rise of non-religious universities
• Better instruments
Scientific Method
• A logical procedure
for gathering and
testing ideas
• Use consistency,
observation, reason
and repeatability
• New way to form
knowledge and
authority
Nicolaus Copernicus
• Argued that the sun
was at the center of
the universe, not the
Earth
• Used mathematics to
support this idea
Geocentric Theory Heliocentric Theory
Galileo Galilei
• Used telescope to make
reliable observations
• Confirmed Copernicus’
heliocentric theory
• Wrote his theories in
Italian
• Church put him on trial
before the Inquisition
William Harvey
• Discovered that blood is
recycled through the
heart, rather than
converted from food
• His research is the
starting point of
physiology - how the
body functions
Andreas Vesalius
• Dissected human
bodies, not just animals
• Made detailed sketches
of the dissected bodies
• His research is the
starting point of modern
anatomy
Isaac Newton
• Used mathematics to demonstrate
that two objects pull towards one
another
• Applied this theory to argue that
force keeps the planets in orbit
around the sun, rather than spirits
and divinities
• His research is the starting point
for astronomy, engineering and
physics
What made this a “Revolution?”
Inventions and discoveries were not new
to the world, they had been done by many
cultures since ancient times . . .
Impacts of the Scientific
Revolution
• An international community of scholars
was created
• The Scientific Method helped scientists
understand the world
• Led to a shift in the way people thought
about everything: The Enlightenment
Is Science ultimately more
beneficial or harmful?
