HUMANISM in philosophy addressed the dignity and value of a person. One of its basic principles is that people are rational beings who possess within themselves the capacity to find truth and practice good. Quite often, it is used to describe the cultural and literary movement that spread across Europe during the XIVth and XVth centuries. It began in Italy where the writers of the Middle Ages: Dante, Giovanni, Boccaccio, and Francesco of Petrarca, contributed in a great manner to the discovery and preservation of the classics.
