Contrary to a still widely held interpretation that originated in Voigt's celebrated contemporary, Jacob Burckhardt,[33] and which was adopted wholeheartedly – especially by modern thinkers calling themselves "humanists" –[34] most specialists today do not characterize Renaissance humanism as a philosophical movement, nor in any way as anti-Christian or even anti-clerical. "Renaissance humanism" is the name later given to a tradition of cultural and educational reform engaged in by civic and ecclesiastical chancellors, book collectors, educators, and writers, who by the late fifteenth century began to be referred to as umanisti—"humanists".[7] It developed during the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth centuries, and was a response to the challenge of scholastic university education, which was then dominated by Aristotelian philosophy and logic. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1312.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1312.txt
