Document Summary

Please read chapter 9: philosophy during the renaissance (191 220) According to the christian thinker aquinas, we have a moral duty to undertake civil disobedience when human laws do not correspond with natural law. According to the christian thinker luther, however, there is no justification for civil disobedience. It is because they see the human differently that causes them to have a different view of this not a difference of political views. As critics of catholicism, both luther and erasmus could agree on a number of theological points. At a more fundamental level, however, the basic theologies of these two men led one of them, erasmus, to be a strong supporter of the renaissance, while luther was led to be a harsh critic of it. For luther, we have no freedom of will or of reason and for erasmus, we do have our will and thus our reason.
