Question

WHich is an Accurate definition of humanism. A. A program used by medieval to teach students about biblical subject. B. A religious movement that focused on the importance of church in daily life. C. An educational movement that stressed the wisdom of the classical world. Or D. A school of art that emphasized the ideal human form above all other subjects. Please give a good reason why your answer is correct.

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be C. An educational movement that stressed the wisdom of the classical world.

Since humanism is an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance human rather than divine or supernatural matters. So, just by the definition both A and B can be ruled out.

It was also a cultural movement that turned away from medieval scholasticism and revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought. The classical world was centered on the Mediterranean Sea and was comprised of the interlocking civilizations of Ancient Greece and ancient Rome. So, that is what brought me to the conclusion of C for my answer.

Answer 2

Answer: C. An educational movement that stressed the wisdom of the classical world

Explanation: Humanism as a philosophy of ancient Greece and the ancient world in general revived and again became the dominant ideology or philosophy during the Renaissance. Humanism emphasized the ideal human form as a center of artistic dedication, but humanism reflected itself in other spheres, simply remaining a part of everyday life, not just art. As such, it certainly did not represent the interest of the Church, nor was it part of any of the church's subjects in Bible study.
