What is an important similarity between the way scientists were thinking during the scientific revolution and the way philosophers were thinking during the englightenment?

Use of reason to examine the world.

Both the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment was based on logically thinking based in reason. Both used methods of inquiry to study the natural and social world around them.

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment followed the Reformation and built on the ideas of individualism and humanism featured during that time period. Scientists began to study nature using experiments, mathematics, and critical thinking to find out how nature worked. It was about finding proof for the spiritual explanations people had believed from the Bible. However, many of the explanations form the Bible ended up being debunked. The Enlightenment continued the thinking by evaluating society the same way scientists were studying nature. Natural principles were applied to politics, women's rights, and education.
