Who were the influential figures in the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution, and how did they shape a new worldview?
Prompt to go with, but do not exactly copy.
As listed with Ms. Sue, Writers, ministers, artists, and scientists were the influential figures. They taught people that science and humanism were more influential than religion.
To make more area and enough for a portfolio or essay question, explore the roles of each, or group the roles into sections to talk about in a hole.
Example idea 1: Writers helped a great deal in the spreading of science and humanism, as they had the reach to an audience outside of the reach of other roles.
Example idea 2: Writers, artists, and composers helped in the spread of science and humanism. They could help spread the idea and information through their expressive talents. Artists could paint the galaxy, writers could write informative books, and composers could capture an audience.
In all honesty, school is about knowing the baseline facts. Then being able to pull expressive words and long descriptions out of thin air, and make a beautifully complicated word document. Good luck and don't copy exactly.
There is a story in your chosen pseudo-name, here it is for you to digest:
When you open a box of chocolates, there is a variety of flavors available. Problem is, since they are covered in chocolate, you can't really tell what any given piece of chocolate is going to taste like. You're going to eat a chocolate (you know you are! admit it! you want chocolate!), but you won't know what you are getting until you bite into it - and then it's done. Like it or not, you've tasted it.
You never know what life is going to give you. But you live nevertheless. So every day - every new experience - is something you really don't know about until you actually live it. It may not be an experience you like. It may be the greatest experience ever. But you don't know until you've lived it, and by then it's too late to not live it.
The real lesson: you take what life gives you and you learn to deal with it, because - as they say - that's life.
The beginning of my post is worded incorrectly from what I was trying to say, sorry.
"They taught people that science and humanism were more influential than religion."
I meant..
"They taught people that science and humanism were more influential, and had the same reach as religion."
The Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution were two pivotal periods in history that brought about significant changes in various areas, including art, science, philosophy, and culture. There were many influential figures during this time who helped shape a new worldview that emphasized reason, observation, and human potential. Here are a few key figures from both periods:
Renaissance:
1. Leonardo da Vinci: A polymath who excelled in various fields, including painting, anatomy, engineering, and architecture. His innovative ideas and detailed observations helped bridge the gap between art and science, emphasizing the importance of empirical investigation.
2. Michelangelo: A renowned sculptor, painter, and architect. He contributed to the development of perspective in art and his works reflected the idealized human form, demonstrating the potential of human achievement.
3. Niccolo Machiavelli: An Italian philosopher and political theorist who wrote "The Prince," a seminal work on politics and leadership. Machiavelli's realistic approach to power and governance challenged traditional norms and influenced political philosophy.
Scientific Revolution:
1. Nicolaus Copernicus: A Polish astronomer who proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, challenging the prevailing geocentric view. Copernicus' work laid the foundation for modern astronomy and reshaped our understanding of the cosmos.
2. Galileo Galilei: An Italian physicist, mathematician, and astronomer. Galileo made important contributions to the development of the scientific method and was known for his telescopic observations, which supported Copernican heliocentrism. His conflict with the Catholic Church also highlighted the tensions between science and religion during this period.
3. Isaac Newton: An English mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation revolutionized physics and laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. His discoveries provided a unified and mathematically precise understanding of the natural world.
These influential figures had a profound impact on their respective fields, challenging prevailing beliefs and stimulating new ways of thinking. They embraced empirical observation, experimented, and formulated theories based on evidence, rather than relying solely on established authorities. By emphasizing reason, observation, and human potential, they helped shape a new worldview that prized knowledge, exploration, and the pursuit of truth. Understanding their contributions is crucial for comprehending the transformative impact these periods had on human history.
Writers, ministers, artists, and scientists were the influential figures. They taught people that science and humanism was more influential than religion.
