IMPACT OF THE RENAISSANCE
Artistic, Intellectual, Political, Economic
CORNELL NOTES
Essential Question: How did the
Renaissance impact the world artistically,
intellectually, politically, and economically?
INTELLECTUAL IMPACT
LITERATURE
Humanism: Writers emphasized the
power of human reason.
Individualism: Literary themes
described the humanist ideal of the
importance of the individual.
Secularism: Philosophers said
people should study secular subjects
as well as sacred matters.
INTELLECTUAL IMPACT
SCHOLARSHIP
Renewed interest in Classical
Greek and Roman
manuscripts led to a greater
separation between religious
and secular institutions.
Scholars no longer solely
studied the Bible, but works
by Classical writers such as
Aristotle and Plato.
INTELLECTUAL IMPACT
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Spirit of inquiry and curiosity
led to exploration and new
discoveries.
Johann Gutenberg developed the
printing press. This encouraged
the spread of new ideas. More
people also began to learn to
read as books were published in
the vernacular.
RENAISSANCE WRITERS
Use the internet to find the following info about your writer:
Dig into their past. Where are they from? Were they
formally educated? Did they wet the bed?
Tell us what they wrote about. What are some of their
famous works? Did their work influence others? Did they
have a mysterious lover they wrote about?
Draw a picture. What visual can you give us that will help
us remember your writer?
POLITICAL IMPACT
The wealth of the Italian city-states,
the weakening of the Church, and the
reasoning of writers like Machiavelli
led to concept of “reason of state”.
Rulers justified taking whatever
measures necessary to strengthen
their state such as collecting taxes and
raising armies.
“End justifies the means”
ECONOMIC IMPACT
People strove to
improve their material
conditions which led to
an increase in trade.
VERNACULAR
THE PRINCE
It makes him hated above all things, as I have
said, to be rapacious, and to be a violator of the
property and women of his subjects, from both
of which he must abstain. And when neither
their property nor their honor is touched, the
majority of men live content, and he has only to
contend with the ambition of a few, whom he
can curb with ease in many ways.
WRITE IN YOUR VERNACULAR
Translate your assigned section
of The Prince into your
vernacular.
Be ready to read to the class!
