Rebirth of Ideas

humanist -  historical definition - a person who was a scholar that studied writings and arts and applied these classical ideas to their own lives

Classical Writings

Latin was the language of the Romans, and was used as the written language of scholars and the Church.  As the educated people began reading more on ancient writers (such as Aristotle and Plato), there was an interest in learning more on the historical society, politics, history and the arts.  

What influenced the Renaissance movement:

• Classical civilization - Greek and Roman Civilization

• Islamic Civilization - preserved the Classical civilization and but further developed the sciences, math and medical ideas from India and the Far East.

NOW WHAT?

1. Think about your own personal space.  This might be your bedroom, living room/games room.  We tend to put our own signature on our room or wish to.  How does your bedroom support your worldview on the humanist theory?

2. If your room does not exhibit signs of these ideals, how does your room support your theory on your personal worldview?
