Scientific Revolution in Order to Term Paper

Of course there exist different concepts of anti-modernism, which state that scientific revolution and modernism lead the society to the moral and spiritual decline. But their appeal to refuse from the achievements of scientific progress sounds absurd or as a regressive religious appeal of fundamentalists, who want to contradict natural matter of facts, set by the dynamic laws of nature.

Making a conclusion it's important to say that scientific revolution of the seventeenth century had turned modern society into the society of continuing progress both in technology and humanism, into the society, whose fundamentals are based on "Mathematical beginnings of natural philosophy" and "Social contract." The development of thought and of cognition principles caused liberation from theological and scholastic dogmas, which had been putting restrictions on society, preventing it from further progress.But contradictory question of the "revolutionary" nature of scientific revolution and its influence on philosophy in general as well as on philosophy of Enlightenment representatives, has more evidence to state that those changes have occurred in "complex" than to state that scientific philosophy has dominated over social thought and directed its development. That's why Shapin's arguments about parallels between discoveries of scientific revolution and antique knowledge of Greeks make us believe that science and society were developing together and scientific revolution as well as Renaissance witness the clear evidence of universality of human knowledge and its harmonic and complex development.
