Renaissance humanismHumanism is a broad category of
ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appeal to universal human qualities—particularly
rationality. It is a component of a variety of more specific
philosophical systems and is incorporated into several religious schools of thought. Humanism entails a commitment to the search for truth and morality through human means in support of human interests. In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, Humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on
belief without reason, the
supernatural, or texts of allegedly divine origin. Humanists endorse
universal morality based on the commonality of the
human condition, suggesting that solutions to human social and cultural problems cannot be
parochial.
