'people being able to think for themselves, through questioning and art.'
The works of Hippocrates and Galen: the books were brought back from the Arab world and looked at with fresh eyes, people began questioning the information instead of just quoting it.
Religion: the reformation is the beginning of the protestant church, they changed the ways people viewed religion by translating the bible, simplifying church interiors and making people believe that religion is personal and you can communicate with God yourselves. This made people think for themselves because God can hear your thoughts.
Communication: in 1454 Gutenberg invented the printing press, this meant that books could be printed and people could read for themselves. Also communication developed.
Art: A rebirth in art led to very accurate painting and sculptures. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci dissected bodies to paint and draw them accurately. This led to better knowledge of anatomy.
