Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth century in Europe, the Italian Renaissance was the cornerstone to the blossoming of human capacity, intellect, and expectations towards the welfare of knowledge. Influenced by the birth of the philosophy of humanism, which emphasized the importance of individual achievement and the human perspective in relation to the divine, thinkers of this time were inspired by the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans, interconnecting the philosophies of Plato and other ancient thinkers with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church .Such philosophies were of extreme importance to the intellectual and sociological changes throughout and after the renaissance.
