Renaissance Values

RENAISSANCE VALUES

Renaissance people had certain common values. Among them were humanism, individualism, skepticism, well-roundedness, secularism, and classicism. These values were reflected in buildings, writing, painting, sculpture, and science. Every aspect of their lives! Most were inherited from the Greeks and Romans and many have been passed on to us. Our values make us act, create, and organize ourselves differently from 20th-Century Chinese, Indians, and Africans. Our values can be traced directly to the Renaissance.
