Question

Outcomes of the Renaissance included:

Answer 1

Answer: there are different "groups" of consequences...1) psychological/philosophical/axiological/anthropological, 2) geographical, 3) religious, 4) economical.

Explanation: 1. renaissance psychology constitutes a big shift, big change in relation to medieval psychology. Renaissance is extroverted in all aspects ....on the basic level renaissance man starts recognizing value and importance of human body, bodily experience, sensous aspect of life, sex, sexual love, adventure. So, in contrast to medieval psychology, renaissance psychology is more grounded. It is visible in arts, in theater. Human life is not dominated by god and ideal of ascetic life. Consequently philosophy starts re-evaluating ancient philosophers, materalistic philosophy and science starts to explore not only divine aspect of life but nature itself (experimenting with nature), religious faith alone is questioned. In social philosophy utopian ideas emerge (Bacon, Moore, Campanella). In few words ...there is an anthropological shift. Human being is more focused on his/her well-being. Geographically speaking, this extroversion translates into great overseas expeditions and discoveries meeting overseas "other" (colonialism starts). Religiously speaking, Europe is divided in Catholic south and Protestant north, infallibility of popes is questioned, authority of popes is shaken. Economically speaking, first symptoms of capitalism emerge in the north of Italy
