Extrait du document
Vaste mouvement d'ouverture culturelle, la Renaissance est marquée par un abandon des valeurs féodales au profit des valeurs de l'humanisme : ouverture sur l'Europe et notamment sur l'Italie, réactualisation des valeurs antiques. L'épanouissement intellectuel, encouragé par François ler et par sa soeur Marguerite de Navarre, touche tous les domaines, aussi bien la médecine que l'astronomie, la poésie, etc. Sous l'influence de ses poètes (du Bellay, Ronsard), de ses penseurs et de ses écrivains (Rabelais, Montaigne), la Renaissance fait de la France le foyer culturel de l'Europe.
There is no hard and fast line dividing the Medieval Period from the Renaissance, still less a date which can be assigned when the one ended and the other began. The developments which were characteristic of the Renaissance took place at different speeds in different spheres, and at different times in different regions. The impact of these changes on philosophy was fragmented and scattered, so that its history follows no clear line. Indeed, from many a university history course, one would gain the impression that after Ockham philosophy hibernated during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, not to emerge until the time of Descartes when it rose again in totally altered form.
