Modern Renaissance Person
There was and is plenty of discussion of what makes a historical "Renaissance man", or person as some fitting this ideal were women. However, I will have to say there needs further exploration of what makes for a modern person, who is a "polymath."
Who is a so-called Renaissance Man?
A renaissance man, or more accurately and less patriarchally, renaissance person is essentially a polymath. They were defined by someone who expresses their gifts in arts, inventing, music, science, and writing. How exactly these gifts are manifest are up to the individual. For example, the famed Lenoardo da Vinci is famous for his contributions to science, the arts, and his inventions. However, he also kept extent notes and writings tying in all his artwork to early science.
Modern Interpretation
The modern interpretation follows along those lines, but adds a few things surrouding entertainment. The reasoning behind the additions are mostly due to the stressors found in the modern world. Additionally, there are some clarifications for the remaining areas gifts.
