Humanism was an intellectual movement. It claimed that people , i.e. human beings can achieve many things for themselves by the cultivation of their own individual nature, as opposing to the religous dogma. For the first time these ideas appeared in the 15th century, alongside with the Renaissance, in Italy. Humanists originally were Christian scholars who studied humanities -grammar, phylosophy, rhetoric, and history - rediscovered Latin , ancient Greek and Hebrew writings. The invention of printing made it possible to spread their ideas throughout Europe.
