Renaissance Period and the Start of Humanism :: European Europe History

The metempsychosis Period and the Start of humanism The Renaissance was an incredibly important turning point in Western mental and Cultural Tradition. All of these changes centered aroundthe idea of Humanism -- in which, people became less God Centered andmore Human-centered. I have narrowed down these changes, and willdiscuss in detail, these changes in three major categories Political,Education, and the Humanism of Arts. The major pollical changes of the Renaissance were from the old feudalSystem of the Middle Ages into a more flexible and liberal fork system.This was most notice fitted in Italy (particularly in Florence), where thedivisions consisted of the old full, the new rich nobles, the middle class,and the lower middle class(The poor didnt count). This created greatconflict amid these social divisions. The new rich consisted ofsuccessful merchants, capitalists, and bankers innovators of new systems ofmaking money. The Humanism philosophy was as well as a very popular with thepeople and umteen political leaders rose to high positions with support ofthese ideals. Three humanists scour became chancellors of Florence -- theyused their rhetorical skills to strongly rally the people of Florenceagainst their enemies. The great changes in Education of the Renaissance were inspired atfirst, by the desire of Humanists to be wise and to speak eloquently. Theidea of useful education for the people, and very rise up rounded schoolingin many different fields of nurture were the new defined goals ofRenaissance education. People all over (Especially in Florence) revivedthe Ancient Greek studies of Plato, Aristotle, and many others. Peoplebegan seriously question what these people said and re-developed theScientific Theory in which you didnt just select whatever was said toyou, but you tested the truth of it. In the sector of Humanism and the Arts, Renaissance Artists no longerwere subordinate to the interests and the values of t he Clergy, and wereable to create anything of their artistic will. Both men and women were instanter able to appreciated arts beyond just religious themes. Artists couldalso now take advantage of new techniques, such as oil word-painting and linearperspective to enhance the quality of their works. All of the greatartists of the clipping used became who they were solely because of this newartistic freedom that the Renaissance brought them. These artists alsocreated works that were more complex than before.
