In the history of science, the European scientific revolution was a period when advances in physics, astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry and other sciences led to a rejection of doctrines that had prevailed in Medieval Europe, and laid the foundation of modern science. According to traditional accounts, the European scientific revolution began towards the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment.

| - In the history of science, the European scientific revolution was a period when advances in physics, astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry and other sciences led to a rejection of doctrines that had prevailed in Medieval Europe, and laid the foundation of modern science. According to traditional accounts, the European scientific revolution began towards the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are disputed, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) and Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human body) is often cited as marking the beginning of the scientific revolution. By the end of the 18th century, the scientific revolution had given way to the "Age of Reflection". The concept of a scientific revolution taking place over an extended period emerged in the eighteenth century, before the French Revolution, in the work of Bailly, who saw a two-stage process of sweeping away the old and establishing the new. Philosopher and historian Alexandre Koyré coined the term scientific revolution in 1939 to describe this epoch.
