Humanism
Humanism is a summary term for intellectual currents, some of which are very heterogeneous. What they have in common is that they design an ideal of society and education that is intended to promote the best possible development of the individual personality in the service of the social community. After the old spiritual sources, which were only carried on in tradition without being understood, had finally dried up, a new search for the essence of the human being began. Depending on the ideological position, very different, often completely contradictory models were developed in accordance with the associated image of man. The roots of humanism already lie in antiquity, to which the Renaissance humanism that emerged at the dawn of the consciousness soul age in the time of the Renaissance in clear distinction from the Middle Ages also fell back, which was inspired in particular by Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) and had its outstanding centre in Florence and radiated from here to the whole of Europe.
