if Dr.Faustus is a Renaissance man then why he adopts magic instead of science to fulfill his desires?
he is a renaissance man and he should adopt the way of science to explore the nature and to acquire more knowledge,then why he adopts old traditional way of black magic becoz these were rubbish things for the man of Renaissance Age.
Maybe it is simply because magic is fun and entertaining.

Dr. Faustus is based on Goethe’s Faust, published in 1725, but is widely believed to be based on Johann George Faust, a 15th ct. magician and alchemist. The real person actually believed in alchemy, a sort of magical science.

You see in 16th &17th century the time Dr.Faustus is written by Christopher Marlo a wide wedth of science was considered to be magic such as chemistry that were known as a science for making cold out of other metals! There was a side in which they believed in devil’s powers and the greety nature of human always wants to achive the most in easiest way,that is the point being represented if Faust.The concecuances that fallow this poor nature that turns out to be ruining your soul ending you with nothing at all what so ever.

Dr. John Dee was a Renaissance man, too. He was, among other things, advisor to Elizabeth I.
He was also an astrologer, alchemist, and all-round dabbler in some very dark arts.
He is thought to be the inspiration for Shakespeare’s Prospero, but might also (along with the historical Faustus) be part of the inspiration for Marlowe’s Faust.

IF, by "Renaissance Man" you mean a well rounded man, competent in many areas of life, then spirituality must be considered one of those areas. Many R. Men were also very religious and some were into various kinds of magic, sorcery, and occult "sciences." Even Newton took alchemy seriously and spent much time trying to turn lead into gold.
But Dr. F. as portrayed by Goethe, was an older man who desired a younger woman to love him. What he really desired was to regain his youth, his love of life, his joie de vivre! If you’ll recall, he was on the point of suicide when he makes his deal with the devil. He wanted to have reason to live, to love, and to experience life once again as being WORTH living. No mere science can give one that…for science is certainly unconcerned with one’s happiness and is incapable of forming values to live by.
Only magic, sorcery, or devilment can give an aging, suicidal old man a young vibrant "Helen of Troy" to love, to woo, and to have…which totally erased his suicidal depression by erasing his pessimism about the value of life. Science doesn’t teach one to love as the centerpiece of one’s happiness. Only religion, philosophy, or good common sense can do that.
