Best Answer

Renaissance (litt.: "Rebirth") means the rebirth of the study and appreciation of the culture and knowledge of ancient Rome and Greece. People's outlook on life in general did not change that much, but within the cultural elite at the time - which then included almost all ruling courts in Europe - there was a jolt forward in knowledge (especially mathematics, astronomy and science) and art.

How was the Renaissance worldview different from the Middle Ages?

The renaissance was a time of change and creativity


The Middle Ages was known as the Age of?

1st answer:Dark ages or middle ages. No "age of"2nd answer:There are those who call the Middle Ages the Age of FaithThe Middle Ages are sometimes called the Age of Darkness, which I believe is a poor name for the period.Within the Middle Ages was a period sometimes called the Age of Chivalry, and another age, with somewhat different connotations but possibly similar dates, called the Age of the Mounted Knight.Also within the Middle Ages were several ages called renaissances. Among these were the Carolingian Renaissance, the Islamic Renaissance, the Ottonian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, the Renaissance of the 12th Century, and the first half or so of the European Renaissance. In fact nearly all of the time after about 700 AD fell into one or more of these periods.I have heard the Late Middle Ages (1300-1453) called the Age of the Longbow.Depending on how you define the Middle Ages, they included all or important parts of the Age of Migrations (about 300 to 700 AD).

There was a certain overlap between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in Italy, where the Renaissance began about a hundred years before the Middle Ages ended. So there was a point when they were the same. Fashions change, however, and this was especially true in both the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
