Central Concepts of Humanities
  1. Humanism
    1. 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.
      1. an ethical system that centers on humans and their values and emphasizes reason and the scientific method.
      2. Myths
        1. 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.
          1. 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.
          2. Beauty
            1. 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.
              1. 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).
              2. Archetypes
                1. 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.
                  1. 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.
