Teachout's Renaissance House

Renaissance (ren' uh sans): the great revival of art, literature, and learning in Europe in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries; any similar revival.

One concept that sprang from this time of intellectual and artistic revival was that of the "universal man;" one who sought out knowledge in all its forms - philosophy, science, art and music, and religion. (The concept was very similar to that of the "superior man" taught by Kung Fu Dz (Confucius) in China.) In time, as the creation of a new "age of enlightenment" was attempted in different periods, the term was changed to "renaissance man."

This page attempts the same thing. Here you will find pages on our thoughts and interests in art, music, politics, philosophy, and even some nonsense ("A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men"), as well as links to web sites related to those interests.
