Question

what were the features of humanist thought

Answer 1

The period of Renaissance from the middle of 14th century to early 17th century was a time of philosophical activity in Europe that was intense and all-encompassing. The main assumption during the renaissance movement was that the remains of classical activity constituted an invaluable source of excellence, that could be utilised by the decadent modern times to repair the damage caused due to the fall of the Roman Empire. It was assumed that God had given a unique and unified truth to humanity and that the works of ancient philosophers had preserved part of this original deposit of divine wisdom. This idea laid the foundation for a scholarly culture that relied on ancient texts and their interpretations. They also followed an approach to textual interpretation that endeavoured to harmonize and reconcile divergent philosophical accounts.
