00:05

brought to you by humanism We all know that vegetarianism

00:09

means we'd vegetable So humanism must mean well let's Just

00:13

say we don't want to run in any humanists anytime

00:16

soon Our table with passage returning the question of being

00:19

loved or feared someone depends on myself He must know

00:22

that most of san pedro artnews or question the definition

00:25

of humanism includes what and here are potential answer All

00:32

right so way have been recently informed that humanism does

00:36

not in fact refer to eating humans and were initially

00:40

inclined to agree with that until we googled famous humanists

00:44

and came across this guy here And no we definitely

00:47

did not in any way alter that image to support

00:49

our personal views not at all but for the sake

00:53

of today's question we'll pretend we haven't actually figured out

00:56

the deep and dark secret of the cult of humanism

00:59

and instead play along for a moment of our potential

01:02

answers provided wich ends her best defines humanism eh Well

01:06

it's not a despite popular belief humanist didn't reject christianity

01:10

and in fact faith in god was almost always a

01:12

given part of the renaissance man's thought process though they

01:15

often tended to focus a bit more on humanity than

01:18

on god But this doesn't mean that they straight up

01:20

rebuked faith because honestly these guys were writing in renaissance

01:24

italy how easy do you think it would be to

01:26

just do away with the whole christianity thing when every

01:29

single building had like a brazilian crosses on it And

01:33

we could eliminate cnd together who doesn't love a good

01:36

two for one deal cnd fit under the category of

01:39

things that are basically the opposite of what we're talking

01:42

about here Humanism was most certainly about critical thinking in

01:46

inquiry It wasn't about memorizing what humans already knew but

01:50

instead trying to discover new ways of looking at the

01:52

world and what it means to be human And because

01:55

of this humanist didn't really love the whole looking back

01:58

at what people during the medieval age just thought kind

02:01

of thing Instead they wanted to study original sources to

02:04

come to their own more modern conclusions It was about

02:07

the new the fresh the original in the exciting new

02:10

fresh birds aren't setting for terms that movie studios today

02:13

seem to be unaware even exists All right humanism did

02:17

include a faith in humanity's dignity humanism focused on the

02:20

value of being human on our freedom and our ability

02:24

to think and be rational It was about the individual

02:27

and the group and it definitely appreciated the dignity of

02:30
