Starting in the 14th century, the Renaissance period was a catalyst for a change in education. During the Middle Ages, the emphasis in education of the medieval scholastics was on theology and spiritual pursuits, and man was viewed as inherently unworthy as a result of the stain of original sin. In sharp contrast, Renaissance educators revived the study of the classics and stressed the importance of the individual. Indeed, the ideal Renaissance man was cultured and well versed in the classics, humanities, and moral philosophy. After challenging the medieval scholastic focus on theology, the values and purposes of a Renaissance education transformed over time from creating or educating a great scholar to educating a man who attained knowledge for practical purposes and exemplified the Renaissance values of wisdom, morality, and virtue.
The Renaissance was well-known for the newfound glory of the humanbeing and the idea of humanism. ... I, his work, On the Method of Teaching and Learning, it is clear to the reader that virtue, wisdom, and morality (Renaissance values) were all very vital principles to Guarino. ... Castiglione made a good point when referring to studies and education; though someone might not be a great scholar or philosopher, if he is educated enough, at least he is capable of judging the work of others.
