Why were there so many Renaissance men during the Renaissance?

![Page 27: Renaissance Man Broad knowledge about many things in different fields Deep knowledge of skill in one area Able to link areas and create new knowledge](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5519a929550346df0d8b464e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
"I don't buy the notion that the world is organized the way universities and companies are. Ideas don't know what discipline they're in. We might kidnap them and say, 'That's a marketing idea' or 'That's an anthropology idea.' But if you walked up to an idea on the street, it wouldn't know about that."
– Gerald Zaltman, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard, personal communication, October 2003.
