How did the success of the Scientific Revolution influence Enlightenment thinkers?

Answer:
realized that the things that they had always been told to believe in can be questioned, and proven to be wrong. From the examples of Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus, Italian philsophes realized that they could think for themselves.


The Scientific Revolution helped pave a way for Enlightenment thinkers. Ever since Newton explained the laws governing nature by using reason, people admired him. People started to look for laws governing human behavior as well. They wanted to apply reason and the scientific method to all aspects of society (government, religion, economics, and education).
