“The Swerve” Chapter 10 2-1-Q

Chapter 10 2-1-Q

In chapter 10 of “The Swerve” a detail from the chapter is the exploration of how ideas spread among thinkers in the Renaissance. Greenblatt talks about the poem’s view of the universe. How it focuses on the pursuit of pleasure, and its challenge of the fear of death resonated with and influenced many important people of that time. Another detail is how Poggio found a copy of “On the Nature of Things” in a German monastery. This finding was brought back into circulation work that had been lost for centuries. It also talks about how the idea began to challenge how people viewed the medieval world.

 A relation to text is previously in the book it had talked about this writing had changed the way people viewed the Renaissance and how people wanted to live their lives. 

A question I have is if writing like “On the Nature of things” was found today would it change anything in the world?
