Answer:

Humanists thought that the purpose of learning was self-improvement not preparation for religious life.

Step-by-step explanation:

They were interested in inquiry and exploration, as well as the idea that humans could perfect themselves.

Medieval scholars focused on god and faith. Renaissance scholars were more interested in human beings and the world.
