erginhoca.com – YDS Reading Vocabulary Test 23: Greek Writings
Although ideas from ancient Rome already
enjoyed popularity with the scholars of the 14th
century and their importance to the Renaissance
was undeniable, the lessons of Greek learning
brought by Byzantine intellectuals changed the
course of humanism and the Renaissance itself.
While Greek learning affected all the subjects of
the humanistic studies, history and philosophy in
particular were profoundly affected by the texts
and ideas brought from Byzantium. History was
changed by the re-discovery and spread of Greek
historians’ writings, and this knowledge of Greek
historical treatises helped the subject of history
become a guide to virtuous living based on the
study of past events and people. The philosophy
of not only Aristotle but also Plato affected the
Renaissance by causing debates over man’s
place in the universe, the immortality of the soul,
and the ability of man to improve himself through
virtue. The flourishing of philosophical writings in
the 15th century revealed the impact of Greek
philosophy and science on the Renaissance. The
resonance of these changes lasted through the
centuries following the Renaissance not only in
the writing of humanists, but also in the education
and values of Europe and western society even to
the present day.

Türkçe Çeviri
Antik Roma’dan gelen fikirlerin 14. yüzyıl
akademisyenleri arasında zaten popüler olmasına ve
Rönesans’a yönelik önemi inkar edilemez olmasına
rağmen, Bizanslı entelektüeller tarafından getirilen
Yunanca öğrenme dersleri hümanizmin ve
Rönesans’ın kendisinin akışını değiştirdi. Yunanca
öğrenmek hümanizm bilimlerinin tüm konularını
etkilemişken, özellikle tarih ve felsefe Bizantum’dan
getirilen fikirlerden derin bir şekilde etkilenmiştir. Tarih,
Yunan tarihçilerin yazılarının yeniden keşfi ve
yayılması ile değiştirilmiştir, ve Yunan tarih tezlerinin
bilgisi tarih biliminin geçmiş olayların ve insanların
incelenmesine dayanan erdemli bir yaşam biçimi için
bir rehber olmasına yardımcı olmuştur. Sadece
Aristotle’ın değiş ayrıca Plato’nun felsefesi insanın
evrendeki yeri, ruhun ölümsüzlüğü ve insanın kendini
erdem vasıtasıyla geliştirebilme yeteneği üzerinde
tartışmalara yol açarak Rönesans’I etkilemiştir. 15.
yüzyılda felsefi yazıların gelişmesi Yunan felsefesi ve
biliminin Rönesans üzerindeki etkisini ortaya
çıkarmıştır. Bu değişimlerin yankısı Rönesans
sonrasındaki yüzyıllarda sadece hümanistlerin
yazılarında değil, ayrıca Avrupa ve Batı toplumunun
gelen eğitim ve değerlerinde günümüze kadar süre
gelmiştir.
