Question

What was reborn in the renaissance? were the humanists the forerunners of modern secular education and culture or eloquent defenders of a still medieval christian view of the world against the church's secular and pagan critics?

Answer 1

In the Renaissance, humanism was reborn, following the classic teachings of ancient Greece, where the point is on human nature, naturism. Perspective and light are used to show human nature in realistic proportions. This creates a Renaissance art, which is completely different from the medieval church art. In addition, the teaching of the Church is neglected, emphasizing the medieval church view of the world as dark. The Theory of Geocentricity, represented by the Church, is rejected, and within the science there are new theories about the movement in the cosmos, advocating the Heliocentric system. Science is developing at all, and emphasizes the secularist approach to life, enlightenment, education, and democracy, whose roots are drawn from ancient Greece, and ideas about democratic governance, derived from the Enlightenment movement, are set.
