Renaissance humanism - modern humanism(s)

Concepts of humanism have multiplied since the Renaissance. Christian Humanism, Enlightenment Humanism, sceptical and neo-colonial polemics against humanism and various kinds of feminist humanism have all articulated different ideals of learning and of human behaviour. The volume attempts to provide a general overview of the history of humanism(s) with a Renaissance emphasis.
