CHAPTER 7: Influence of the Scientific Revolution

The modern world has been shaped by many factors, including the growth of science. In the wake of the Scientific Revolution, the development of science over the past few centuries has had significant effects on economic, political, and cultural life. Scientific ideas and practices are known to a much wider audience than was the case before the Scientific Revolution. The sciences are now learned, practiced, and supported quite differently than they were in the seventeenth century. Today’s scientific institutions are both similar to and different from those that evolved during that century. Yet there can be little doubt that the results of the employment of experimentation, mathematics, precise measurement, and new instruments had powerful effects on the subsequent development of science and on the ways we work, live, and think.
