Both the world views of the Renaissance and of the Medieval world integrate and conflict with each other.
Both views regarded God as a supreme being, one of a higher power. But in the middle ages one was to work his way toward heaven. As in "The Name of the Rose." Many "unenlightened" monks gave themselves to God. They would sacrifice everything to him. In the view of Kempis when a man "hast Christ, thou art rich and it sufficeth thee; He shall be thy provisor, thy true procurator, in all things, so that thou shalt not need to trust in man." Meaning that once a man has found God he need not look further or better himself in life. All will be provided for.
The Renaissance way of thinking was different. Like, William in the movie, science played a much larger role. Man was on Earth to find his place. According to Pico man has no restrictions. God gave man the ability if he chooses to "enlighten" a better himself. Not follow the law of the Church. During the Renaissance men began to questions old religious views to find a unity of truth in all philosophical thought. Also during this time there was less of a gap between peasants and kings. Peasants began to have the chance to make their life's better by gaining wealth. No longer was one necessarily born into money he could make it himself. A mans mind was set free upon the Earth during the Renaissance. While his soul remained was with God.
