The Renaissance and the New Sciences

The Renaissance was a period from the 14th to 17th century marked by renewed interest in art, culture, and learning from ancient Greece and Rome. It fostered curiosity, innovation, and a human-centered approach. The New Sciences, emerging during this time, shifted focus to empirical observation and experimentation, challenging traditional beliefs. Pioneers like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler revolutionized understanding of the universe, laying foundations for modern science. Together, the Renaissance and New Sciences transformed knowledge, emphasizing inquiry, evidence, and discovery, which continue to shape our worldview today.
