Key Concepts
At the heart of the Renaissance was an intellectual movement called Humanism . Medieval thought had focused almost entirely on God and the afterlife, but Humanists rediscovered the "Classical" texts of ancient Greece and Rome . They believed that human potential, intellect, and achievement were worthy of celebration.
Scholars like Petrarch (often called the "Father of Humanism") collected ancient manuscripts and emphasized the study of history, literature, and philosophy (the Humanities ). This shift in thinking encouraged people to be curious about the world around them, leading to advancements in science, politics, and art that moved away from purely religious themes.
