In this sense, it is related to generosity, compassion and
concern for the valuation of attributes and human
relationships.
Humanism, in the broad sense, means valuing the human being
and the human condition
Theocentrism that conceived God as the center of
everything, gives way to anthropocentrism, where man
occupies the center and stands as the measure of all
things. In this sense, humanism exalts the qualities of
human nature for its own value.
Humanism is also known as the philosophical, intellectual and cultural movement
that began in Italy in the fourteenth century with the Renaissance and spread
through Europe, breaking with the theocentrism of the medieval Catholic
mentality.
