Intellectual Advancement In The Renaissance
Another intellectual advancement was the existence of humanism in the Renaissance. During the Medieval Era education was used to prepare people for religious occupations, but humanism allowed people to study Greco Roman culture, also known as the classics. These liberal studies taught students history, moral philosophy, eloquence, letters, poetry, mathematics, astronomy, and music. This curriculum would equip students to be a well rounded citizen and prepare them for secular jobs as well as religious careers. This new idea of the separation of church and education created more opportunities for the future.
