Question

How do the developments occurring in Europe at this time – the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution – contribute to a more "modern" world view? What values, attitudes, practices, and ideas (positive and/or negative) develop during this time that reflect a change from those of European medieval society?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each one, on their way, contributed to change the world. But I think that, in general, the main contribution of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution was to allow the man to see himself as important. His creations, his ideas, beliefs, and points of view were now praised, and not seen as a sin. About the values, well, I believe that respect, otherness, praise for the science as an answer, cultural diversity are some examples of good values. But at the same time, it began to raise an egoist society, that seeks the development whatever it takes.

Explanation:

The Renaissance allowed a new perspective about art, putting the man as the central, and the one who can change reality. However, created an art style that dominated the world until the 19th century, avoiding any other creation. At the same time, the Renaissance created an egoist perspective of man, proud, and eager.

The Reformation gave the man the freedom to understand God as he wishes, but created an intolerant human being.

The Scientific Revolution could explain how the world works but created a human being that doesn't understand the world anymore. I mean, the seek for riches, development and scientific approach, somehow, blind the man, and created an eager and intolerant being.
