Dedication to historical studies: Europe During The Renaissance And Humanism
Abstract
This research aims to investigate the extent to which the Renaissance and humanism served as catalysts in transforming the intellectual landscape of Europe toward the modern era. The research design adopts a library research approach, utilizing documentation as the primary instrument for data collection. The study focuses on the analysis of scholarly books and journal articles related to the development of the Renaissance and humanist thought in Europe. The collected data are analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the concepts, characteristics, and impacts of Renaissance and humanism on European civilization.
The results of the research indicate that the Renaissance and humanism had significant influences on changing European worldviews from a theocentric orientation to an anthropocentric perspective. Humanism emphasized human dignity, rationality, and intellectual freedom, which contributed substantially to advancements in education, art, science, and socio-political life. Furthermore, the Renaissance encouraged the development of rational and empirical modes of thinking that later became the foundation of modern scientific thought. These findings highlight the crucial role of the Renaissance and humanism in fostering intellectual innovation and shaping the foundations of modern European civilization.
