    People thought the world could be understood through simple keys to nature. The theories of Neo-Platonism, a Renaissance era school of thought based on Plato's belief that "truth lay in essential but hidden "forms"" contributed to these beliefs. Jewish cabala also contributed to this - this form of thought taught that the universe may be built around magical arrangements of numbers. Pythagoras had also thought that the world may be connected by numerical patterns in nature.…

He stresses the strengths and gratitude that can be gained when one presents himself as friendly and not terrifying. The author goes on to use Caesar Augustus and Nero, two men that fell under the title “father of your country “even thou only Augustus can truly hold the title honestly, all the while Nero was both enemy of his country and his religion. The author also uses God, the Heavenly Judge and Eternal King of all. He expresses how we all can have sin in our lives and are weakened by our own self-willingness and all are in need of mercy.

    The Italian Renaissance was a reawakening of literature and art, as well as many of the ideas of previous cultures (“The Impact,” 2016). Although they were not the only ideas to be revived, Greco-Roman Classical beliefs were perhaps the most prominent. The revivification of ideas such as humanism and Platonism and their effects on art make the influence of the Greco-Roman Classical period blatantly obvious in the philosophy of the Renaissance period.…

    Three humanists even became chancellors of Florence -- they used their rhetorical skills to strongly rally the people of Florence against their enemies. The great changes in Education of the Renaissance were inspired at first, by the desire of Humanists to be wise and to speak eloquently.

People all over (Especially in Florence) revived the Ancient Greek studies of Plato, Aristotle, and many others.…

    Cicero was an excellent orator and his speeches remained famous for the skill in using the arguments and figures of speech. Even today they are considered wonderful pieces of classical Latin. The quality and ready accessibility of Ciceronian texts favored very wide distribution and inclusion in teaching curricula. This influence increased after the Dark Ages in Europe, from which more of his writings survived than any other Latin author, making him a very important Roman figure. Also, he was the last honest man in the Senate, trying to reform it from within to save it from the outsiders who were gaining momentum to destroy the Senate from the outside, using whatever means they could. Yet, most importantly, Cicero texts and stories motivated people of experience a sense of hope during the terrible Dark Ages of Medieval Europe.…
