Answer:

The Renaissance changed the way that humans saw themselves.

In the previous period, the Middle Ages, philosophy was theocentric: God was at the center of everything.

In the Renaissance, it was different. Philosophy and art became anthropocentric: humans at the center.

This change naturally created new ideas about human capabilities: humans were seen as more capable than before.
