THE BEGINNINGS OF MODESN THOUGHT One of the chief causes of the revolt against ecclesiastical authority was the new method of thought which was necessitated b^ the changed social conditions. A phase of this new thought already been discussed as a part of the changed view of the fhurch; but philosophy was now wider than theology, and much iiat had to do with social development had nothing to do with Igious and ecclesiastical problems. The human mind, having /been stimulated to activity by the Ch
...urch, and then emancipated ' from ecclesiastical authority, naturally cast about for some means by which to express the expanding consciousness. This was foimd in classical literature which was first made available through the Arabians and the discoveries in Italy and later through the dispersion of Byzantine scholars by the conquests of the Turks.
This movement was due to the passionate, though vague, search for novelty which the oldest products of human thought here chanced to satisfy; to the appeal which Greek literature could make to minds already stimulated to seek the beautiful by the developments of a rich civilization; to the necessities of municipal reconstruction in Italy which aroused an interest in Roman litera- ture; and to the sanctions furnished by this literature for political and individualistic developments and for skepticism in religion.
