Question

What were the differences between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in the attitude toward worldly pleasures?

Answer 1

The middle ages the Europeans were not willing to change, killing one another while paying heavily into the Silk road. (Later disease came from the silk road wiping out 1/3 of Europe.)

In the Renaissance how ever the Europeans were trying to find was to get a direct route to both China, and India for cheaper goods, and others ways to get more money.
