The features of Renaissance humanism are as follows: 1 Interest in recovering the culture of classical antiquity and philosophical studies of the language. 2 The artistic creations were based on imitating the masters of the Greco-Roman civilization. 3 Man was considered to be of great importance, in addition to the fact that his intelligence placed great value on the faith that unites him with his Creator. 4 Values exceed those of classical antiquity so faith in contemporary man was restored. 5 Fame is appreciated as a classic virtue, knowledge of the sensory and the effort of self-improvement. 6 Trade is no longer considered a sin and Calvinism affirms that economic success is a sign that God blessed the worked land. 7 They recognize the need for separation of morals and politics, there must be an eternal and a temporal authority.
Humanism is a philosophical, intellectual and cultural current that thinks of humanity and people in general, seeking to go beyond the scholars or those who had an important position in power, that is , it seeks to put human value by above any particular ity or social position. Characteristics of renaissance humanism
This is the name given to all the philosophical theory that emphasizes the value of the human in front of the rest of the realities. In short, this theory develops its fundamental works starting from the vindication of human values.
Humanism applies to certain historical moments. They are the characteristic sociocultural phenomenon of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, known as Renaissance humanism ; to the neohumanism of the period of classicism and German romanticism of the 18th and 19th centuries, and to contemporary humanisms , fundamentally with an ethical orientation.
The main currents of contemporary humanism are Marxism and existentialism . Marxism argues that it is the man who shaped through the development of history. The latter, linked primarily to nature, distances himself from it by modifying it according to his own needs. At the same time that he develops his transforming work of nature, man modifies himself by the same factor (work), resulting at that time as the creator of his own nature. Under capitalism , workers ( proletariat ) do not work for themselves but work for another ( bourgeois) who gets the benefits of production. The critique of Marxism focuses on the fact that work as well as its product, under today’s society, oppresses the worker (alienation) and, ultimately, dehumanizes him.
On the other hand, existentialism is a set of philosophical tendencies, strongly developed in Germany and France during the 20th century , which coincide in understanding by existence , not the simple actuality of some things or the fact of existing , but what constitutes the essence same of the man. It is a humanism because it provides a basis for subjectivity and they consider that the fundamental question in being is human existence . Man is not then the human species or a general notion, but the human individual considered in his absolute uniqueness. Analyzing that existence is the work of existentialist philosophy. The importance of this lies in the fact that the human (according to this current of thought) is the only being whose essence consists in questioning himself about his own existence. Characteristics of renaissance humanism
Renaissance humanism , whose origin is located in the Italy of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (especially in Florence , Rome and Venice ) is characterized by the renewed interest in the studia humanitatis , that is, in the studies of grammar, dialectics, rhetoric, history, poetics and moral sciences, based on an appreciation of the ancient classical text, in Latin and Greek. Thus they put aside the scholastic thought (Christian theological current) dominant until then of Western thought. Characteristics of renaissance humanism
