I. General Introduction Renaissance: literally means “revival” or

“rebirth” of the ancient Greek and Roman culture;

In essence, “renaissance” was a historical period in which humanists made attempts to get rid of conservatism in feudalist Europe and introduce new ideas that expressed the interests of the rising bourgeoisie.

Period: 14th— early 17th century (or late 16th)

It started in Florence and Venice in Italy to the rest of Europe.

《圣经》说:“有钱人进天堂,比骆驼穿过针眼还难。”基督教原始教义带有明显的反商意识,也连带禁止商业文化带来的世俗享乐和追求物质的倾向。 14 世纪时,崛起于意大利中、北部城市的商人阶级…… 由于拥有财富而创造了为财富服务的新思维,提出了关照人的生命与尊严的价值观。

“我研究了古人,为自己开辟了道路。

Now all the disciplines have been

restored, languages revived: Greek,

men, fine teachers, ample libraries…

DO WHAT YOU WILL!
