     As I prepare to write a post concerning ancient Western civilization, I stop to ask myself a few questions, find your personal answers if you wish, this will likely come up in my next or last post and might interest you further. 

Petrarch and the Renaissance - Machiavelli

  • What was so brilliant about Petrarch's poems? They were almost self-centered, but they were elegant, beautiful, and were in no way selfish, just untraditional coming from a modern viewer.

  • According to some during this period, medicine, law, and theology were inferior to the "liberal arts" how true is this?

  • What is the "happy medium" to enjoy all life has to offer rather than focusing on death, yet to strive for a life without sin and with good faith? What does it mean to appreciate mans' nobility while still holding God up at His highest above all creatures?

  • Machiavelli taught that morals should not apply to politics, and in turn, that the church should not have any influence on the state. In what ways was he detrimentally wrong?
