Erasmus Dutch humanist Pushed for a Vernacular form of the Bible “I disagree very much with those who are unwilling that Holy Scripture, translated into the vernacular, be read by the uneducated... As if the strength of the Christian religion consisted in the ignorance of it” Wrote the “The Praise of Folly” Used humor to show the immoral and ignorant behavior of people, including the clergy. He felt people should be open minded and be kind to others.

Sir Thomas More English Humanist Wrote: Utopia - A book about a perfect society Believed men and women live in harmony. No private property, no one is lazy, all people are educated and the justice system is used to end crime instead of executing criminals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peSp UDMcGR8

Political Ideas of the Renaissance Wrote “The Prince” – A book about rulers using absolute power Machiavelli believed: “ The means justifies the end” “One can make this generalization about men: they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, they shun danger and are greedy for profit” Machiavelli observed city-state rulers of his day and produced guidelines for the acquisition and maintenance of power by absolute rule. He felt that a ruler should be willing to do anything to maintain control without worrying about conscience. Niccolò Machiavelli – Father of Modern Politics
