Italian Renaissance

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how there was great development of ideologies that helped flourish European civilization during the Renaissance. The writer looks closely at two important ideologies that helped promote significant political, economic, and scientific revolutions in the continent for the next centuries. These two important ideologies are individualism and objectivity. It explains how the first ideology helped improve the state of natural philosophy and culture of Europe, while the latter helped develop the pursuit for science and empiricism.

From the Paper:

"Individualism and objectivity have become the ideology of human society for the last seven centuries. True to Burckhardt's claim in 1860 that the Renaissance is the "birth of the modern world", these two ideologies have reigned superior in every aspect of human life, even influencing the life that we lead at present, now that human society is in the Information Age. Individualism and objectivity are directly linked with each other, where the occurrence of the former ultimately leads to the development of the latter. The texts that follow provide illustrations that show how individualism helped celebrate human society's culture and objectivity, the development of an empirical and scientific human society."
