Intellectual/Scientific Revolution Social Impacts

Copernican 1. The influence of Copernican is immense to the extent that
by Nicolaus Copernicus not only does it transform European understanding, but also
frees the human spirit from the mental stranglehold that religion
has kept on it for thousands of years. Copernicus was dismissed,
but it made many scientists aware that his work was significant.

2. This movement made it necessary to analyse their real social

interest. After Copernicus' passing, his philosophy was
continually discussed with the advantages and benefits of the
Roman Catholic Church.

Freudian 1. Freudian describes and corrects the almost completely

by Sigmund Freud erroneous understanding of the mind which reflects on moral
inspiration. This movement acts as a motivation for individuals
to learn of and address psychiatric problems.

2. Freudian defines the behavior of a counselor as a person

who listens without judging and views patients as someone
who wants support rather than as someone who has, in any
sense, committed moral transgressions. This describes
everything that may be unlikely.

Darwinian 1. Darwinian discusses the evolution and variety of species, the

by Charles Darwin nature of mankind in an organized cycle of transition
controlled by natural rules. This movement has made citizens
mindful of their role in the evolutionary cycle.

2. This has led to dynamic conflict between creation and

evolution to the society. Darwin’s theory provided social
thinkers with many concepts which could be applied to man in
society.

Scientific Method 1. Scientific method teaches science and community that tests
by Francis Bacon have a major role to play in testing hypotheses, and that
before anything turned out to be a reality. This stressed step by
step testing as the most appropriate form of study.

 2. His experimental method of fact-gathering largely
influenced advances in chemistry and biology through the
18th century. The main purpose of science was the betterment
of human society and that experimentation should be applied
to hard and real situations. This revolution helped the society in
developing their views about nature. This serves as an influence
the intellectual social movement known as Enlightenment.
