Off-course the terms perspective, mono-perspective and multi-perspective are not self-explanatory and the meanings of these terms need to be formally analysed. After making the formal difference between <em>mono-perspective </em>thinking and <em>multi-perspective</em> thinking a content difference needs to be made. Namely, why is the Renaissance vision of reality <em>multi-perspective</em><em> </em>and the Middle-Age vision of reality <em>mono-perspective</em>? The answer to this question needs to be given by the analysis of the original works of the Renaissance thinkers. Our undertaking will not be limited in analysing only one discourse but following the subject from a methodological point of view in a <em>multi-perspectivism </em>way. Therefore, three different discourses will be analysed: <em> </em></p><ol><li>The discourse of philosophical anthropology with Mirandola’s vision of man as a paradigmatic example-</li><li>The discourse of philosophy of nature, with Bruno’s vision of the universe as a paradigmatic example-</li><li>The discourse of art history in which four paintings will be analysed: these paintings can be considered of having philosophical, value because they provide a picturesque representation of what the Renaissance “world” was really like.</li></ol> ER -
