Central Concepts
of Humanities
- Humanism
- The study of the creative and
intellectual contributions of all
human cultures. This consideration
and examination began in the early
Renaissance with the study of
Greek and Roman civilizations,
which were extolled as the pinnacle
of human achievement.
- an ethical system
that centers on
humans and their
values and
emphasizes
reason and the
scientific method.

- Myths
- traditional stories of a
people or culture that
serve to explain some
natural phenomenon, the
origin of humanity, or
customs or religious rites.
Humans can pass on their
visions, values, and
memories from generation
to generation through
myths.
- Some myths are universal;
others are unique to a
given culture. Myths offer
practical and spiritual
wisdom and help shape
how we see the world.
They also delight and
entertain.

- Beauty
- Those qualities that
give pleasure to the
senses. They might be
found (for example) in
nature, a human face,
a musical composition,
a painting, or a poem.
Aesthetic pleasure is
that which beauty
inspires in humans.
- Aesthetic experience is an
experience of beauty that
inspires a feeling of pleasure,
which is its own justification.
We value the experience,
whether in nature or the arts,
intrinsically—independently of
other things. The stimulus for
aesthetic experience may be
visual (a full moon, a painting, a
dance movement, a person's
face) or auditory (a song, the
wind whistling through the
trees) or literary (a written
narrative or verse).

- Archetypes
- They include mythic characters,
events, symbols, and buried
assumptions. We rely on archetypes
to organize our understanding of
ourselves, of humans generally, and
of the universe.
- age-old models by which we
comprehend human experience.
These original models—for
example, "the hero" or "descent
into the underworld" or
"scapegoat"—are transmitted
from generation to generation
through mythology and become
part of our subconscious.
