The Renaissance The age of “ rebirth ” began in about 1350 and continued until 1600 in Western Europe. The rejection of the medieval period by thinkers initiated the transition into the Modern Age. The thinkers of the Modern Age valued the worldly life, expanded knowledge, and advocated that human beings develop their best potential in this world. The culture of the Renaissance transformed the way people in the West see themselves, the way we live in society and the community, the nature of art, and the role of learning.

Humanism Writers and artists of the Renaissance were conscious about being in a new era, with new values. The term “humanism” was derived from the Latin humanitas, to distinguish their period from the past and to identify their cultural program based on the revival of Greek and Latin classics. Humanists viewed the classics – literature, philosophy, and art – as their inspiration, unlike medieval scholars who fit them into a Christian worldview.

“Renaissance Men” The ideal of the period was the individual who excelled in all matters, who strove beyond the ordinary in learning, craftsmanship, and civic life – a “Renaissance man.” I.e. Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli The new view of human nature often called for reflections on the relationship of human beings to God and the cosmos. Humanists stressed the importance of education and the value of directing children early in life. Dutch theologian Desiderius Erasmus – “(…) stressed that we all have certain capacities and limits, but what will determine our development is our nature, combined with our education.”

Humanism was a civic idea as well as a scholarly one. If education was to be moral training for a virtuous life, it was also intended to prepare one to be a responsible citizen and a member of the civic community. People now felt loyalty and devotion to their political and social community, and they hoped to bring honour to it by their achievements.
