This lead to the forming of nations and the true sense of the world. New social
and economic conditions called for the new ideology, because the catholic
dogmas didn’t correspond to the new trend of life. For this reason in many European
countries the protestant religion spread up and national churches were
established.

the catholic then appeared a new outlook which was called humanism. The time
demanded positive rational knowledge and this demand was supplied: in astronomy
by Copernicus, in philosophy by Tomas More, in geography by Columbus, Vaska de
Gama and others. Leonardo de Vinci was force a new theory of art: “It was the
greatest progressive revolution that mankind have so far experience, a time,
which called for “Giants” and produced Giants in power and thought, passion and
character in universality and language.”
