Answer:

Renaissance humanists believed that humans are at the center of their own universe and should embrace human achievements in education, classical arts, literature and science. They also believed that God gave humanity great potential and that humans should make the most of it rather than blindly following a religious plan. They rejected scholasticism and promoted private and civic virtue. They were interested in studying literature and art from antiquity and the eloquent use of Latin and philology.
