(5 pp) The Renaissance (French for "Rebirth) is
known as the period of the individual
(1400-1650); in that man was no longer a "cog in
the machine" enduring life, but rather, he viewed
himself as a unique person, who could shape the
world, as in fact shaped him, with the new
knowledge that was now accessible to him. One of
the things, which came with this awareness was
place of function in society. This discussion
will examine the roles of Prince, Warrior,
Dissenter, Merchant, Artist, and Scientist.
