Renaissance ideas
"Renaissance" is defined as the period of "rebirth" throughout Europe in the 15th century. Starting in Italy, the ideals of this period spread through the rest of Europe, including to Germany, where many artists, scientists, and thinkers were influenced by Italian Renaissance men. These regions, once defined by two dominant points of feudalism and of the Church, was becoming more defined by the more broad spectrum of people living within the countries. Feudalism, a term first used in the early modern period (17th century in its most classic sense refers to a Medieval Europe Political system composed Germany was inevitably affected by this mass spread of renaissance thinking from Italy.
The biggest idea that spread was humanism. This consisted of the belief that individual human beings are the fundamental source of all value, and have the ability to understand and greatly effect the natural world. It was due to this thinking that pushed classical thinking, arts, and the natural sciences to the forefront during this period of thinking with Germany.
The Church and feudalism
The Renaissance is the considered the first stage to the Reformation. The Protestant Reformation was a reform movement in Europe that began in 1517 though its roots lie further back in time The reformation is referred to as the revolution of religion, and it was sparked by the Renaissance and thinkers like Martin Luther. Martin Luther (November 10 1483 February 18 1546 was a German Monk, theologian, university professor Father of Protestantism, and church reformer After having posted his 95 these upon Castle Church doors, he was the forefront of the Protestant and Lutheran religion.
The feudal system within Germany developed along with the rest of Europe. This included the general development of noble lands, fiefs, and general centralization. Under the system of Feudalism, a fiefdom, fief, feud, feoff, or fee, often consisted of inheritable lands or revenue-producing It become apparent within the late 15th century, that the Medieval style of thinking and government would not work during this distinct time of change. Even during the great turning points of the Renaissance, it can be seen how those areas (such as Germany) not under some type of Roman hold, flourished under feudalism. The Roman Empire was the post-Republican phase of the ancient Roman civilization, characterised by an autocratic form of government and large territorial Just like the spread of renaissance thinking, feudalism spread from France, Spain, and Italy to Germany.
Mythology and ideology
The greatest mark of the Renaissance was the renewed interest in classical learning. Documents, papal or not, were being brought to the surface for examination and study. Classical learning and study was a must for any person living in the renaissance and was considered a great part of one's education. The basis of literature and art in this time were references back to times with Ancient Greek and Roman societies and mythology. The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage in the development of the Hellenic language family spanning the Archaic (c The basis of natural science developed from that same look back into Greek and Roman philosophies and teaching, however they were more further developed. In Science, the term natural science refers to a naturalistic approach to the study of the Universe, which is understood as obeying rules or law of
One thing to remember is this transition back to classical learning did not happen in a few years, the transition itself took over a century to occur within Germany. During this period many artists, scientists, and men of the church traveled to Italy. It is then they brought back these ideals,and help thrust Germany into renaissance. The greatest influences of the German renaissance are marked for having brought the basis of Italian renaissance thinking, but still retaining to their German culture.
