1. Medieval man’s life rotated on divine power i.e. god. He saw all creation being controlled by this force which was beyond his interference or control. In renaissance perception of history was more humanistic, it was centered more on temporal world rather than on the one to come. While people were concerned with religious things, they were also involved in secular ones.
2. The renaissance exalted man as the centre of the world while the medieval period exalted god and heaven. Renaissance focused on man’s life and sought to help him realize his potential.
3. Medieval education advocated rejection of the body whereas the renaissance glorified the body. Renaissance asserted that life should be enjoyed to the full; body should be looked after, beautified etc.
4. During the renaissance there was passion for learning and emphasis for scholarly erectness where reason was seen as more important than faith. There was a call to return to the old classical roman and Greek learning. There was development of appreciation for humanities – areas of knowledge that refine the spirit e.g. philosophy, art, music (aesthetics).
5. Renaissance was a period of optimism where man felt that no discovery and scientific advance was beyond their achievement. People realized their potentialities in creation unlike living in the medieval helplessness. This means that people realized that they could have some control over nature – could be part of creation.
6. Renaissance brought a break from previous religious dogmas. They saw the world as being dominated by law not miracles.
7. During the renaissance, theology lost its position as queen of sciences to the
languages and physical sciences.
