CHAPTER

Exploring Self-Determination and Religious Ideals in Renaissance Humanism

This chapter examines the capacity for ideal self-determination in human beings through reason and free will, drawing on historical figures like Merrendola and Kant. It discusses the intersection of Greek sculpture with religious ideals in Renaissance art and challenges the perception of the Renaissance as purely secular. The importance of the Benedictine tradition, traditional religious sources, and the concept of freedom of conscience are emphasized as fundamental aspects of Renaissance humanism.
