Question

Analyze how the development of Renaissance humanism, the printing press, and the scientific method contributed to a new theory of knowledge and conception or the universe.

Answer 1

Renaissance was a new philosophy questioned the responses of the church for natural phenomenons and encouraged people to embrace the scientific process that allowed people to discover new things.

The scientific process that emerged from this “break” from science enabled scientists, such as Isaac Newton and Rennée Descartes to start a scientific revolution which changed our concept of the universe forever.

The Printing press was also a very important factor because it led to the emergence of the scientific progress to all European countries, the press made possible for an invisible community to become known and thousands of scientists were able to publish their discoveries. The Printing Press also made possible for science to develop a unified language that could be used in all languages.
