Before the invention of the printing press, knowledge transmission through oral and manuscript methods was limited, slow, and controlled by clerical or aristocratic elites, which restricted access to information and suppressed critical debates during the Middle Ages. After the printing press emerged in the 16th century, it revolutionized idea dissemination by making texts widely accessible, sparking intellectual debates, encouraging criticism, and fostering innovations that propelled the rise of critical thinking during the Renaissance.
| Avant l'imprimerie | Après l'imprimerie |
|---|---|
| La transmission orale et manuscrite des connaissances était limitée, lente et contrôlée par une élite cléricale ou aristocratique. Cela restreignait l'accès au savoir, favorisant la conformité et étouffant les débats critiques au Moyen Âge. | Au XVIe siècle, l'imprimerie révolutionne la diffusion des idées, rendant les textes accessibles à un large public. Elle stimule les débats intellectuels, encourage les critiques et favorise les innovations, contribuant à l'essor de l'esprit critique pendant la Renaissance. |
