*Humanism: What is Humanism? How does it differ from the Middle Ages (*hint: theology).
Definition: As the name suggests humanism is all about the human. It focuses on human beings, their values, abilities, and individual worth, and human society as something valuable that could be improved. It is the belief that human needs and values are more important than religious beliefs.
-critical thinking and evidence (rationalism and empiricism) over acceptance of dogma(blind belief) or superstition..An example of humanism is the belief that the person creates their own set of ethics.
Renaissance humanism is the study of classical antiquity, at first in Italy and then spreading across Western Europe in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries.
Renaissance humanism challenged the worldview of the Middle Ages.
