What does the character Dr.Faustus suggest about the idea of the Renaissance Man???

1 answer:

6 0

So, Dr. Faustus is an embodiment of curiosity gone wild. His blase attitude towards humanistic science is, however, some kind of a scientific decadence: he casts away philosophy and law, to embrace magic, as a relic of medieval obsession over mysticism. In this regard, he is a subversion of the Renaissance Man. He thinks he has already learned all there was to learn about this world, so now he yearns for another kind of knowledge - esoteric, otherworldly, knowledge that isn't exactly a knowledge because you don't have to study long and hard for it, you just have to sell your soul to Lucifer.

At work, far too many people try to take as much as they can and give back as little as possible.

Gennadij [26K]

Based on the given statement above, in my opinion and own observation, I would say that I agree. People work because they need to sustain their daily needs, and because of that need, most people try to take as much as they can to support it. Giving back becomes little because there is only little that is left from work too. Hope this answers your question.
