Renassaince anad Humanism
ITALIAN HUMANISTS
He also translated from the Greek language some books of Homer and Euripides.
Bruni and Flavio Biondo (1392-1463) were the initiators of modern historiography which surpassed mere descriptions and anecdotes and seeks a true interpretation from the past.
Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374), who studied and established the authentic text of Virgil, Livy, Cicero and San Austin, and Giovanni Boccaccio’s works (1313-1375), that drove public education in Florence
Nicolás Machiavelli (1469-1527), founder of political science, who wrote the first treaty about how to conquer power and keep it.
Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), a former monk, forerunner of the Scientific Revolution, who defended the heliocentric theory (the stars are suns with their own planets). That was very revolutionary so after teaching this theory to half of Europe and going back to Italy, he was arrested and tried by the Inquisition.
Later he was burned in the bonfire
under the accusation of heresy.
WHO WERE THE HUMANISTS AND WHAT DID THEY PROPOSE?
Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444) proposed forming to the students for an active service life to the community, giving them a broad base and solid knowledge, ethical principles and capacity of written and spoken expression
image of God, privileged creature, more worthy than all things on Earth.
Now, humanism surpassed the world academic, and it was not only pedagogical, literary, philosophical and religious, but it became a way of thinking and living that revolved around a main idea
At that time, "humanists" were called professors of language, literature, history and art, and "Humanities" to the studies of those subjects.
The people had awareness that the world was in a new era, while appreciating again the literature, philosophy and classical Greco-Roman art.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, a very special movement emerged, humanism, which
will go from the hand of the so-called Renaissance.
The term 'renaissance' is derived
from the French word meaning 'rebirth'.
DIFFUSION OF HUMANISM IN EUROPE
The rapid diffusion of Italian humanism to all the cultured circles of Western Europe
together to new philological, historiographical, artistic, and literary ideas, was due to:
HUMANISM TRAITS
HUMANISM TODAY
Today the world is globalized and we are more of 7.3 billion human beings.
Nevertheless, poverty persists for half of that population, and there are terrible inequalities. However, what is important is the human being and he must be the center of all concerns.
Humanism is still in force in any doctrine whose fundamental principle is respect for
the human being and awareness of his/ her dignity.
Humanism seeks to awaken the consciousness of the powerful, because the problems of health, employment, education and housing in various regions of the planet could be solved with very little of the wealth of the First World
The capital ideological feature of Renaissance humanism was anthropocentrism,
that is, the consideration that everything revolves around man.
The man is the center
of creation. It proclaims pacifism in rejection of all kind of wars that threatens
human’s dignity.
