Explanation:
Humanism as a philosophical current emerged during the Renaissance period, where the great thinkers of the time began to put aside the prevailing theocentrism since the Middle Ages to move to a sociocultural and political vision of an anthropocentric type, where virtue, knowledge and beauty in art began to be considered as human attributes that extolled the condition of such. Thus, during this period and around this philosophy, societies abandoned the rigid social models established by religions (especially Catholicism) and removed God from the center of the social scene, to leave man in that place.
