Scenarios about 'humanism'
Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, while generally rejecting religious dogma as a basis of morality and decision-making. Emerging during the Renaissance as a reaction against medieval scholasticism, it promoted rational thinking, scientific inquiry, and the study of classical texts. In alternate history scenarios, humanism often serves as a pivotal movement that can accelerate or redirect cultural, scientific, and political developments when emphasized or suppressed in different historical contexts.
