CAUSES AND PROCESS

Socio-political and economic social values, which have gained significant momentum with all factors in cause-effect relationship on the historical dialectical plane, have served as a cement in the construction of the revolution. The change in the European mentality, which started centuries ago without technological developments that caused a dramatic change in social life and expanded in a perspective extending to the present, caused the society to discover new windows. These mental transformations experienced in the intellectual context have increased the life expectancy of the human being before experiencing the mental transformation. Pre-industrial civilization was trying to come to terms with the rules of nature that it could not deal with in a spiritual approach. However, such a table; It only allowed humanity to continue its daily life and caused the development coefficient to remain very low. The pre-Renaissance period should be seen as the discovery of the world by humanity.

Due to the mentality changes experienced, with the Renaissance; The world has turned into a place that must be annexed by humanity within the framework of worldly standards that developed in the first place. But as with any revolution, this challenge first found its way into the intellectual life. The mechanization process that started with the Industrial Revolution should be regarded as the first concrete step of man's challenge to nature.

In summary, the people of the period who created this mechanization process had a materialist and pragmatist structure that incorporates all the qualitative features of the intellectual accumulation that prepared the period.

Rostow also categorizes the reasons that prepared the Industrial Revolution according to similar qualitative characteristics. He explains why the inventions brought to humanity in the periods before the Industrial Revolution did not have such an effect on daily life by the lack of class consciousness. According to Rostow, theoretical advances have not found a place in life practice due to the communication gaps between scientists and inventors. One of the biggest factors of the Industrial Revolution was the existence of associations and clubs where scientists and producers with inventive competence and capable of maintaining daily life could come together in big cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham in England. This group, which was able to melt the achievements of humanity in a pot with correct communication, played an important role in the formation of the Industrial Revolution and inventions that would facilitate the transition from craft to machine production were brought to humanity. The ability to weave silk, which was developed successively during the half century between 1730 and 1780, to melt iron into casting, to thin steel and to open a steel mill; Thanks to these, techniques such as the processing of iron and furnace in the furnace by means of the steam engine, integrated in an intricate structure, caused significant changes in the production methods and prepared the industrial revolution.
