Answer 1

During that time art was a big thing. Paintings, sculptures, etc. Many famous works came from that time period.

Answer 2

95 theses...Then you're talking about the REFORMATION!

(start of Protestantism)  Luther nailed a list of 95 theses - 95 complaints to his door on the street, starting this event.

The deeper meaning?  There are two types of truth:  1)The truth that you are told (or, it's true just because someone important says so), and 2)the truth you can see/reason for yourself.  Before the Reformation, the 1st type of truth was the most important; after the Reformation, it was the 2nd.

Answer 4

The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians as to the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical age

Answer 5

The main significance of the Renaissance was the revival of ancient learning lost or destroyed during the barbarian raids of the Dark Ages or banned by the Catholic church during the Middle Ages in Europe. This really began with the Crusades as the Islamic and Indian cultures had kept this learning alive and expanded on it and crusading knights brought this back to Europe with them.

Primarily the teachings of Ancient Greeks such as Socrates and Plato gave new insights into the political processes of the time, as well as logic, and the Ancient Greek mathematicians provided a framework for further scientific studies, ie astronomy and anatomy.

These influences can be seen clearly in the works of such renaissance men as Machiavelli, Leonardo DaVinci, Copernicus and Galileo to name a few.

Answer 7

In my opinion, the Renaissance's result is more important then the Renaissance itself. As you know, the Renaissance was the "rebirth" of interest in the arts. Years later, the Enlightenment occurred in Europe, when political, social, and economic thinkers realized that if humans could make such a deep impact in the various fields of the arts, why couldn't they do this in social affairs such as government? In this way, the Renaissance led to the Enlightenment, which led to such current processes of government and economic structures and Democracy.
