The renaissance is a rebirth of man. Man must remember that everything that exists in society was created by men who preceded him , and it was created for the progress and happiness of mankind. Confronted with social institutions or political organisations which are antagonistic to the progress and happiness of mankind, which bind men instead of liberation them, man must feel the necessity of breaking those bonds, so that he can make further progress. But in order to have the confident that he can do that man must remember himself. That is the rebirth of man as man.
