SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

It can be asserted that the Scientific Revolution and its development represent a complex series of events that have occurred. The opportunities and possibilities we enjoy in society today are result of the actions of many bold individuals that allow us to experience a vision of the world that would have been difficult to imagine in the past. Scientific Revolution marked progress in science, technology, and society. It laid the foundations of the scientific method, primarily based on observation and experimentation. Academies and scientific institutions were established, promoting science in its finest form. Science itself has the ability to evolve, regulate, and recover. With the changes in science, universities also evolved, responding to variable circumstances in social life since the 12 th century. University, a place of research and teaching, transformed into a conscious participant involving many stakeholders. The Revolution reconstructed science based on new attitudes within certain communities. Its goal was to modify frameworks through the influence and persuasion of the scientific community. Scientific Revolution (Latin revolvere to return, to overturn) according to Rodin, is essentially the revolution of science itself, while Hegel, from a philosophical perspective, sees Scientific Revolution as nothing other than the return of individual sciences in particular sectors of being to the origin of being itself. Term "science" comes from the Greek word epistēmē understanding, comprehension, knowledge, and the Latin scientia, scientiae knowledge based on data that can be proven and reproduced. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate how intellectual capital, which includes results of scientific research, scientific discoveries of theoretical, developmental, and practical significance, as well as the educational level and research activities of the active population, becomes a crucial factor for the contemporary functioning of social reproduction in the most developed countries in world, significantly influencing the overall social and economic development and transforming social reproduction through the contributions of individuals with their knowledge, skills and creativity.
