What changes in society and politics were contributed to by the scientific revolution?

The scientific revolution was the one that triggered not only a new world in science but also at the economic, and sociocultural levels.

A scientific revolution is a concept used to explain the emergence of science during the early modern age, mainly related to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in which new ideas and knowledge in physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the ancient and medieval visions of nature and laid the foundations for classical science.

It was a revolution where Galileo and Isaac Newton played a leading role, along with other researchers.

Explanation:

Since ancient times the concepts of "science" and "philosophy" were very difficult to dissociate, in a scheme of the branches of knowledge that since the Middle Ages has been presided over by theology. The separation of the fields of the so-called "useful sciences" and the so-called "humanities", and the end of the use of Latin as a scientific language, was taking place very slowly, and not before the 18th century; but already from its beginning in the second half of the XV century, the "modernity" of the "Modern Age" meant, in the first place, the secularization of thought and the differentiation between "human letters" and "divine letters", an indispensable step to convert the "natural philosophy" in an autonomous domain that only submitted to reason and experimentation, differentiated from that of the moral, human or social sciences (a distinction that will later be regretted as an intellectual split between two cultures). Such subdivisions were produced as the development of cultural history made it impossible for a "humanist" to claim to dominate all branches of knowledge. Around 1500 Leonardo da Vinci could have been a universal sage. In the first half of the 17th century, René Descartes could still be at the same time an optician, geometer, mathematical analyst, psychologist, theorist of knowledge and metaphysician; while Spinoza tried to demonstrate ethics "in a geometric way" and Leibniz was considered "the last universal sage". In order to write L'Encyclopedie in the mid-eighteenth century, it was necessary to resort to multiple experts in multiple specialized disciplines, thus making a medley of knowledge that unleashed new cultures, new thoughts, new social inclinations, and even an increase in the intellect of the population at transmit the knowledge discovered at this time.
