Question

6. What does it mean when Green says that

the Renaissance scholars were humanists?

Answer 1

Renaissance scholars were humanists who emphasized the value and dignity of human beings and focused on the study of philosophy, history, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Green says that the Renaissance scholars were humanists, he is referring to an intellectual movement that developed in response to the medieval scholastic conventions in education. Humanism emphasized the value and dignity of human beings and focused on the study of philosophy, history, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.

Renaissance scholars believed that through the study of these disciplines, individuals could improve themselves and live a 'good life,' which would ultimately improve their societies as well. They sought to create a citizenry who were able to speak and write with eloquence and engage in civic life.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "humanists" can be a little deceptive since it suggests that the scholars who examined, translated, and commented on these books were more concerned with, say, humanity than, say, the realm of religion. Green claims that the Renaissance was a rebirth as a result of all the terrible things that happened during Europe's dark ages in the 14th century. Between the 15th and 16th centuries, Italy was the primary location of the Renaissance in Europe.
