Locke and Newton
The scientific revolution was used to describe a change in intellectual thought during the 16th and 17th centuries. This change formed the dividing line between the medieval world and the early modern world. Science basically became invented during this revolution. The change was in two major areas: biology and astronomy. Before the 17th century the major concern was with physiology and anatomy. Two figures that play a major role in the development in science in the 17th century, are John Locke and Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthrope, as an only child. Newton went to Cambridge, 1661, while the Scientific Revolution was advancing. The works of modern science were appearing. Like others of his time Newton began his own separate education by studying Aristotle’ work. Soon, Newton learned Descartes and other philosophers who were contrast to Aristotle. Newton wrote a set of notes called, “Certain Philosophical Questions” in 1664. This was the beginning of Newton’s scientific career.
