The rediscovery in late medieval Europe of the art, literature, and philosophy of the ancient world sparked the development of _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Humanism

Explanation:

   At the end of the Middle Ages the worn out feudal structure began to give way to a new social, economic, political and cultural order. All of these transformations have brought about changes in the thinking of many people, especially the rich ones who lived in big cities. In this context intellectual, scientific and artistic movements have developed, we will see three of them.

Humanism

    Humanism was an artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in Italy in the fourteenth century and that valued Classical Antiquity. For humanists man was the measure of all things and was at the center of the universe (anthropocentrism). Thus they regarded man not only as a creature of spectator of the work of God, but reasonably endowed with great achievements. This view contradicted the Church that saw man marked by sin and dependent on faith for the salvation of the soul. However, the humanists sought a balance between the pagan writers of antiquity and the Christian teachings of the Bible.

    Inspired by the humanists, Italian artists started a cultural movement known as the Renaissance. The great interest of the Renaissance was to recover elements of Greco-Roman culture for its day.
