摘　　要：牛顿的科学发现也是人类的一次思维革命,这一革命为欧洲由农业社会向工业社会跃迁奠定了理论基础。因此从更深层次的意义上,世界史中的工业化运动是始于17世纪的欧洲科学革命。欧洲中世纪以来的市场演进不仅成为欧洲科学技术超越发展的一般条件,而且为18世纪的蒸汽机发明和普遍应用提供了必要条件。Newton＇s scientific discovery is also a revolution of human intellect. Such a revolution laid a theoretical foundation for Europe to transform from an agricultural society to an industrial one. Therefore in a deeper sense, the movement of industrialization in the history of the world started at the European revolution in science in the 17th century. The development of the market from the Middle Ages of Europe not only became the general condition for a surpassing development of science and technology in Europe but also provided an essential condition for the invention and the common application of the steam engine in the 18th century.
