Sir Isaac Newton was a important role model in the Scientific Revolution, which in turn inspired the Enlightenment which finally led to the rebellion of the bourgeoursie (sp -_-) for the spurring on of the French Revolution.
Basically, he, as in many other scientists, came up with the idea of scientific proof as opposed to the popular "deduction method" thought up by Rene Descartes. When the philosphes of the Englightenment looked back at the scientific revolution, they thought "if they can think freely in science... we should be able to in every other aspect of life"... so they did, petitioning for social and economic reformation. So what did Isaac Newton do for the French Revolution? Nothing for his physical mind had been long defunct.. but his work and thought processes were inspirations to the following eras |
