How the Scientific Revolution Created the Environment for the
Enlightenment

world was reshaped by the Scientific Revolution and the
contributions made by the scientists that existed between the
times of Copernicus and Newton. Their contributions then led to
the development of The Enlightenment, a time in which
the world was opening up, literally, in immeasurable ways. The
logic of the philosophers, writers, and other intellectuals of
time was that if the human beings of the Scientific Revolution
could so unlock doors behind which the laws of the universe were
hidden, God's own laws, why couldn’t it also be possible to
determine the laws elemental in all aspects of nature and
society? Bibliography lists 4 sources.
