Talk:Scientific Revolution

some places it was actually pretty much a real, armed revolution, when used in a more specific meaning, in which case it's like the American Revolution or the Glorious Revolution, a capitalized conflict name). It presently mostly seems borderline conventional to capitalize Agricultural Revolution and Industrial Revolution as general world-changing phases of human cultural shift, but this capitalization isn't universal and certainly isn't necessary. It's also misleading, because there were multiple agricultural revolutions in different parts of the world, which sometimes had no connection to each other at all. The AR in the Americas was independent of those in Eureasia and Africa (which are generally thought to be related to each other, starting around the Fertile Crescent and radiating outward over centuries, though in fits and starts, and not in a centralized way, but through piecemeal adoption of techniques and behaviors which varies from place to place and cultural exchange to cultural exchange. And there is still some debate about this diffusing model, especially for eastern Asia and southern Africa). "Commercial revolution" is clearly not a proper name, and isn't even a very well-used term. It's a descriptive appellation for a vague period, or a series of vaguely connected cultural shifts, in one region's history, which to our modern eyes culminated one kind of shift, toward modern commerce and the ascendancy of the merchant/middle class and of capitalism. Not a term anyone would have used during or immediately after it (which makes it similar to "agricultural revolution" in being an anachronistic retro-label we've come up with in modern times, while qualitatively different from the industrial revolution, the digital revolution, etc., etc. (even "industrial revolution" was used in the 1800s, while it was still ongoing, and notably the term was introduced in a period when Capitalize Because Its Important was a typical style in English, one which has long since been abandoned except in marketing).

by convention. As far as English is concerned, the concept "proper noun" has the same extension as "conventionally capitalized noun", and the fact that the same is not so in all languages is irrelevant. The example of "Tuesday" was intended simply to illustrate the fact that the concept of "proper noun" is defined by convention rather than by a logical principle, so that the extension of the term may vary depending on what convention one follows, as it does between French and English. Another example I could have taken is "French", which is regarded as a proper noun in English, whereas the equivalent in French is regarded as a common noun. There is a lot more that could be said about this concept, which is far more complex than it looks at first glance, but it is already distinctly off topic for this page. In this case the point I was trying to make was really that those of us who regard "scientific revolution" as a proper noun will probably want it capitalized, while those of us who don't won't, so that saying that it is or is not a proper noun does not solve anything.

2322:. The Industrial Rev. changed the entire world, radically, in many, many ways, and a preponderance of sources capitalize it the same way they do the Renaissance. The "digital revolution", however, is too new for us to determine what its lasting impact may be. For all we now, a nanotechnological revolution of quantum computing and limitless "making" is around the corner and is going blow the impact of our few-decade-old dig. rev. completely out of the water. Meanwhile, most of the predictions being made ca. 1993 about the utter transformation of the world by computers and the Internet have mostly proven to have been nothing but cyberpunk fantasies. If anything, mobile telecommunications has had more of an impact than "the Net" and PCs in many ways.

Scan the media and popular science books, for instance... 844: 1603: 262: 729: 326: 708: 2802:)." On July 27, 2009, it was moved back to lowercase "r" with the summary, "Change to correct capitalization per naming policy: discussed on article's talk page". The talk page has been in existence since January 28, 2003 and has three archived sections. The discussions, both philosophical and scientific, present well-defined arguments for uppercase and lowercase, with the uppercase argument being the more convincing one per nomination, BDD and SteveMcCluskey. 624: 603: 575: 559: 543: 925: 316: 295: 1655: 634: 1042: 1001: 739: 3359: 222: 1159:"It is a proper noun" is, in this context, devoid of semantic content. A "proper noun" simply means one which is conventionally capitalised, so that, for example, "Tuesday" is a proper noun, whereas the equivalent French "mardi" isn't. Therefore to say "this should be capitalised because it is a proper noun" amounts to "this should be capitalised because it should be capitalised". 253: 834: 813: 445: 410: 2798:. This article was created on January 14, 2002, within a day of Knowledge's first birthday, with lowercase "r" in the main title header. On January 28, 2007, it was moved to uppercase "R", with the edit summary, "In its uncapitalized form, "scientific revolution" can refer to lots of things. Only "Scientific Revolution" is a specific event/period (cf. 2147:, you get different results whether you're searching for "scientific revolution" or "the scientific revolution." Without the definite article you get hits on general discussions of the topic of scientific revolutions; the definite article constrains you to the Scientific Revolution of the Early Modern period. There the capitalized form predominates. 3119:(2000, ed. W. Applebaum, Routledge, NY) I cannot find this phrase or sentiment. It continues "The work formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, thereby completing the synthesis of a new cosmology." Most certainly, but does that signify a "grand synthesis" that ended the Scientific Revolution? Perhaps, but I would be very skeptical, 455: 2391:. If "Scientific Revolution" should be "S/scientific revolution", should "Industrial Revolution" become "I/industrial revolution", "Agricultural Revolution" become "A/agricultural revolution", "Commercial Revolution" become "C/commerical revolution", "Cultural Revolution" become "C/cultural revolution – and so on..? 3341:

and opposed the phlogiston theory. Lavoisier helped construct the metric system, wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He predicted the existence of silicon (1787) and discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same.

2353: 1698:. Disagreement hinged on whether or not this is a proper noun. Some said it was, some said it wasn't. I took a look and I think it probably should be capitalized, but honestly to draw that conclusion from this move request would be absurd. I feel safe calling the result of this discussion "no consensus". 2780:

As I documented in the previous discussion, the term Scientific Revolution (in caps) is an accepted term for this well-defined historical event. Like most such events, the chronological limits of this period are somewhat uncertain, but the concept is well defined. As to the question of why this was

2582:

I wanted the move because I am developing an article about an event which sources call a modern scientific revolution in its field, and currently, there is no Knowledge article on the general concept of "scientific revolution". There are many "scientific revolutions" in various fields of science, but

I suspect that the closer a source is to a printed origin, the more likely it is to use "Scientific Revolution" rather than "S/scientific revolution". Meanwhile, I don't understand how a name for this particular view of this particular period in history wouldn't qualify as a proper noun... as well as

1180:

OK, the situation in German is different (as it was in 17th century English), and "conventionally capitalized noun" cannot be regarded as a universally applicable definition of "proper noun". However, the point really was that what is called a "proper" noun is not an absolute, but is rather defined

3303:

I suspect the author leaned heavily on Steven Shapin's "The Scientific Revolution" - the general scope of the article follows Chapter 1, at least. That said, I would consider challenging the term "revolution" and instead consider that the events that comprised the scientific revolution were in fact

2578:

There is debate from 2009-14 about the capitalization in this article. I agree that most sources do not capitalize the term "scientific revolution", but also some sources refer to the general concept of a scientific revolution while others which use the term as a proper noun do. The content in this

Your comments show that the proper assessment for the use of upper or lower casing for the term "scientific revolution" in the scientific literature is not a simple matter, and needs some careful consideration. Nevertheless, I feel that it is the way to follow to decide on the subject, if we are to

I just redid your search and found that many of the lower case forms are book titles, which are listed for (apparently in catalog form) in all lower case. The titles of the books when examined, and in many cases the quotations in the search, give Scientific Revolution in upper case. Some examples

I have done a further analysis of capitalization of the phrase "the scientific revolution", where the definite article "the" more clearly restricts the meaning to the historical event. In this case there has been an increasing preponderance favoring capitalization since 1985. It isn't an obsolete

As this issue has a history, I avoided making a specific proposal. I imagine, though, that "Scientific Revolution", like "Industrial Revolution" is the solution. When I clicked on a link to this article, then saw its (current) name/title, I thought it'd be about what makes a scientific revolution,

Why has this been brought up again? All the reasons given in the previous discussion still apply just as much now as they did then, and unless there is some reason to think that things have changed since then there is no reason to repeat the same discussion. I stand by what I said in the previous

Belated answer: Probably yes, mostly, but it'll depend on contextual details. The Cultural Revolution, for example, is something different from the others; it's political sloganeering like the New Deal and other such phrases, when used in a general abstract way in discussing communism (though in

This may have been a contributory factor, but I don't see that it can have been a major cause of misunderstanding. Anyone who has read the first sentence of the lead can see that the article is about a specific historic period. just looking at the title, however, it is easy to see how it could be

2060:

Well, I guess it seems to me that discarding "Scientific Revolution" and the like – whose capitals distinguish instance from kind – is a backward step; a loss in descriptive potential rather than an opportunity. Do you see the distinction between this and – I agree – the misuse of capitals to

2326:- the fact that some would or would not consider the mobile rev. to be part of or spearaete form the dig. rev. is part of the problem with these articles, and among the multiple reasons taht treating them as universally accepted proper names is misguided and ill-considered. 1204:, a quick scouring of sources on the revolution show conflicting results; some use the proper noun context and others do not.

Not Sure how do you do responses, but to the baconian science section issue, just saying that Alhazen was not read by all of these, and the scientific revolution was adopted somewhat independently, or maybe there is some kind of link I just do not know.

2697:– the article is already about the historical concept, not an event. And sources don't agree on there being a proper named event, though some go that way. Accommodating your new material shouldn't require pretending that this one is a proper name. 1992:

Recently Usflibstudent21 has said "The Scientific Revolution was enabled by advances in book production." Pythagoras, Philolaus, Aristarchus, Seleucus and others put forward systems like that of Copernicus without printed books.

I think "specific" and "proper" names are not synonymous. It's also not at all clear that the scientific revolution was a "specific historical period." It's a much more general concept applied to a long fuzzy period of time.
