What was the new understanding of history by the thinkers of the Renaissance?

The emergence of completely new and unfamiliar sciences, the restructuring of society, the exploration of new lands. All this was present in the New Time.

Famous thinkers strongly supported reforms and revolutions, they wanted to change the world.

But it was not enough just to introduce new knowledge. Thinkers and scientists put man himself at the forefront.

He has changed. Man began to perceive the world in a different way, he himself became different. His understanding of the world was different from that of the Middle Ages. He believed that the mind and he himself are the main ones in this world.
