Question Description
Assignments 13.1
In your own words, what do you think is the importance of the connection between critical thinking, religion, and philosophy?
Assignments 13.2
In this module I had you look at material related to Luther and the impact of the Protestant reformation.
For this assignment I’d like you to recap for me the importance, and impact, of the Protestant reformation on Western thought and culture. Specifically I would like you to have picked up the impact outside the church. In other words, beyond the obvious impact that it created Protestantism as a branch of Christianity, what are the social, political, artistic, economic, philosophical impacts? (you need not reference each of those categories I’m just trying to give you ideas to think about).
I am looking for something in the range of 200-300 words.
