Has the restoration of the sciences and the arts contributed to the purification or to the corruption of morality?

"purification", "corruption", "morality"

These are all abstract as heck terms, please put some actual work into your OP explaining what your notion of each of them is.

It has lead to moral relativism, which is a form of corruption.

That's an incredibly shallow regurgitation of freshmen-level interpreation of The Prince.
